    Simple. I bought mine from there and upgraded it to my own spec. Saved me £100 or so quid.

    You can get spares or repairs ones, or ones with busted mobos, etc

    Join your local Freegle. Ask on there for broken laptops and you should get something. Free too!

    Freecyle is probably where freegle [STRIKE]stole all its [/STRIKE]obtained many of its users from.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that
