So how are we going to tackle these issues without constantly spending money on upgrades or replacing damaged equipment? Fortunately, the answers are ridiculously simple.
THE SECOND-HAND LAPTOP THAT NEVER GOES OBSOLETE …
I can hear you all saying, Marty’ s lost his mind. How on earth could this be possible? Well, I’ m here to tell you that not only is it possible, but if you do a bit of shopping around, you might be able to get a robust laptop computer every bit as useful as a new one for less than $ 100. And you won’ t have to buy any software to use it. It’ s all absolutely free.
I still cannot believe this HP ProBook laptop cost just $ 80!
At the heart of this computer is an operating system called Linux. If you’ ve been around computers for as long as I have, Linux will sound very familiar. It’ s been available in one form or another since 1991. You’ ve probably heard that it’ s only for real computer geeks, and that may have been the case in years gone by, but today, Linux has developed into a very good, user-friendly, highly configurable operating system that will work on virtually any computer, regardless of age.
What’ s more, there are literally hundreds of distributions( or distros) of Linux, each one aimed at catering for a particular type of user. Whether you are used to running Windows or MacOS, you will find a distro that looks and feels just like the system you prefer. The only difference is that the constant updates won’ t make your computer slow down over time. Your old computer will keep performing well for many years.
