my initial thoughts of purchasing scrapbooks
i have purchased a total of six notebooks. One unit was literally scrap, i didnt try to power it on it was so bad so i parted it out. It had a clean touch screen, ram, and keyboard and some other parts i could sell or use for more than the cost of the unit. I have two clean units that require a minimum of parts and efforts to get up and running. I also received three units that are functional but need a little more work. none of the six units had hard drives. I can understand the security aspect of this sort of but there are tools and programs that allow hard drives to be securely erased and prepared for further use. All of the batteries were dead, and one of the newer units didnt even have a battery. I build computers and repair computers so knowing what i was buying i gave this 5 stars. At the end of the day i should have 5 out of six working computers. The jury is still out for me. I will more than likely order again in the near future and will review again once i have made a final determination of the value of this product to me as a computer builder and repairman. right now i have had to purchase batteries, for 5 units, and 4 notebook hard drives, and a dell keyboard and may have to purchase memory also. my goal is to have units as clean and functional as possible. its difficult to sell products that are not in stock and notebooks are still in high demand and even the end users are still looking for a deal. After a further cost analysis i will know if its a deal for me at the end of the day. As a side note i have been repairing an building computers for churches, individuals since 2007.

Junkyard laptop
You get what you pay for. I expected to be surprised but I wasn’t. One labtop maybe useable when I find a power cord

Scrap Laptops, lots of fun.
Bought 2 Scrap laptops, received one Dell Latitude and one HP Probook, I enjoy getting old laptops back up and running and these two are a lot of fun. The Dell was dead, I rescued it by literally baking the mother board in the kitchen oven (google it). It is now running like a top. The HP Probook didnt have the memory cards in it so I bought a 4gb card and a power adapter, it is now running perfectly. The Dell is going out in my shop and my wife has already placed dibs on the HP Probook. If your good at working on computers these can be a steal. In my case, I put a lot of time into these and now have two great, good running laptops. It was worth the gamble to buy these scrap laptops.

Surprise!
I ordered 2 sets for the class I teach in college. I was amazed that three of the four were viable. One even had the original memory and hard drive. Runs perfect on Linux.

Scraptops
What a neat purchase. Thr units I got were both opearable once a HDD was added and in one case a battery. Otherwise chargers (which I have a slew of) and one LCD bezel and in business. Total after using a few parts on hand for a Thinkpad i5 and an HP Elitebook i7 was about $70 inclucing shipping. Wrrth lots more just in the fun of it. Will definite try this again!
