I just love working with computers and I have a bit of money. Problem is that I don’t have a job, and this hobby is quite expensive. So, I thought of perhaps trying to make at least a little bit of money from it by buying old and broken laptops, repairing them, and then reselling them. Perhaps if I get a laptop that’s compatible with Libreboot, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T480, I could also flash Libreboot onto it.
Nevertheless, I’m also planning to get a real job soon.
Monetarily? No, not at all. Repairing computers hasn’t really been profitable for years. If you want to constantly play with new computers and not really lose any money on it then yes you can probably not lose money on it, but don’t expect to make money.
No normal person wants this. That’s an extremely niche demographic. And the demographic that wants this, is almost entirely going to be the same demographic that would want to flash it themselves.
He’ll have to buy recent hardware. Maybe broken gaming laptops. Then repair, install Windows and sell for a large markup.
