Westech Recyclers (a Full Circle Electronics company) — Local services in Phoenix

I visited this place based on azcwr recommendations for a budget laptop to install Linux on. You don't need to spend a grand on a laptop to use Linux. With that said, you need to have decent knowledge of what you are looking at or have a smart phone to cross reference what you like, don't expect the laptop to have a battery that holds a charge or even contain a battery, have an HDD and in some circumstances even have RAM. All of those things can be had for minimal cost via the internet. They might even have chips there, I'm not 100% sure because they were really busy while I was there. Be sure select a power supply cable b4 leaving. I picked up an HP HDX18 with a 9000Q (quad core) processor and DDR3 ram, it was in otherwise excellent condition, upon loading ubuntu I realized that most of the functions on the touch bar functioned. Although the CDrom doesn't spool. IDK if that matters much in today's world because of the advent of plug and play external cdrom drives.

I wish I had known about this place...
