Wish I could have one of them old 14 inch ThinkPads - maybe the T or the P series, with six or more physical cores. My current laptop is mangled, with missing screws, battery that can’t hold power, and I’m not sure how long it can hold. Can’t afford to even get an older, refurbished device atm.
I found the kind of dumpster I think you’re describing, I thought I was going to get lucky but it was all pre-2005 desktops
That’s it? I saw a dude who got a DJI Mavic 2 (I think) from the return item that no one bothered to collect from Amazon, for free.
