2 scrap laptops for $55
I am very pleased - both laptops are now functional. $25.50 in parts and a 80 gb drive out of a drawer got a Dell e6400 going great on Mint Linux 19.1. The old list price of the e6400 shows in its quality. Love the speakers! Laptop 2 is a Dell e6510 that lacks a screen and has a touch pad issue, but with $16 worth of ram, a usb mouse, and connected to a 32inch TV it also came to life (the 80 gb drive with mint previously loaded adjusted itself to the hardware). I have abandoned Win 10 as awkward bloatware that is a marketing tool instead of a viable OS. I am using a dual boot of soon unsupported Win 7 (for Outlook) and Linux now. Older computers work very well for this, and do not get on my last nerve.

Bought 4
Bought two groups. The first group had a scrap laptop. A old beat up windows 2000 machine with a busted hinge and a working Lenovo ThinkPad X140e that was missing a hard drive. the delivery was the two day delivery and the deliver guy just threw it over the fence onto my concrete driveway. I was lucky it didnt smash them both to smithereens. So I tried regular shipping on the second set. I got them in 3 days and the delivery person threw (I mean that literally) onto the front porch. The second group had and another scrap windows 2000 machine also with a broken hinge and a newish one that had a cracked screen. I cant but wonder if it was cracked before shipping. Is it working? I will find out when I get a universal power adapter. I guess this is what happens when you gamble. LOL

Missed much
I bought 4, all of them were 11inch: [1 Acer Chrome CB3-111], [1 HP Stream 11-d001dx], [2 Lenovo ThinkPad X140e both had no keyboards, one without battery]. I think its not coincidental that they dont have two keyboards. Not yet tested. The first, I have to spend $30 for 2 ac adapters bought from Amazon hoping they will work well after that. If not OK, the second I spend more money for keyboards. Good luck!

Scraptops
I was pleasantly surprised, received a Vaio and a Thinkpad. Both were in good shape, guess I got super lucky. I fixed a couple of really small things and gave one to my dad and another to my kid. When I have a chance I would love to buy this again. Thanks guys

Scraptops
Bought 8 laptops, received 6 old XP laptops that are in perfect working condition and 2 that are Windows 10 ready. 1 is a core i5 and the other is probably an i7, the i5 is missing bottom cover, HDD, RAM, and has a smashed 1080p touch screen. Both newer models are Lenovo, 1 is an Ideapad and should boot right up with no work once I find a charger and the other is a Yoga. Between the Ideapad and the Yoga I will probably spend $300 to fix the Yoga and it should sell for $500 by itself so overall with a little work it will be profitable.

Awesome for making Linux Laptops
The laptops are really good for creating Linux laptops, which is what I’ve been doing. I’ve ordered them twice. The first time I was able to make one completely functional laptop by borrowing parts from the other. The second time, after a little troubleshooting I got both laptops to function perfectly. Great price for the outcome!

Scrap Laptops
I bought 4 scrap laptops and was pleasantly surprised. One needs a battery, and one needs a keyboard, the other two are almost perfect as is. So, for a little over 100$ more I will have 4 working laptops. They all work great with Linux so I couldnt be happier. I bought 4 hoping to get one that would work. 4 out of 4 is great!
