It's like me I get many laptops and just get them tucked under a table cause I always feel like I'm trippin balls, in a dream then I realize it's not a dream it's real, and no I was not on shooms, I have a lot of laptops that are old and broken and not worth fixing, I used to have a vostro laptop,cool to see it here
Those HP EliteBooks are amazing, I've got a HP EliteBook 840 G8 as my work laptop, 11th gen i5 and they're wonderful honestly, I used to have a 840 G3 before they upgraded them all and these things are amazing for office work in general, home use, school, etc, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a a really good laptop for those use cases.
Those older Elitebook 8470p laptops are tanks, and I love them compared to newer models because they are super easy to upgrade the ram and drives on, like you can do it in less than a minute :)
The older Elitebooks just like to yeetus deletus their power button functionality. Mine got so bad that it actually fried something on the board instead of just failing, though mine was an 8460P
I'd love to find some old laptops, upgrade and repair them, install some Linux distros and Windows/Mac OSs, depending on the model, and see how much I could sell them. I hate when old laptops go to waste.
A buddy of mine used to purchase skids of laptops and handed the broken ones to me. My task was to fix them, using the parts from each other. It was fun and honestly always a challenge. Dell, Lenovo and HP - all off lease from CDW or another large company. Out of every 10 broken, I fixed anywhere from 7 to all 10. Some just needed a bit of work (micro-soldering). Unfortunately, my health no longer allows for it. I did it for 5 years and paid for my current laptop and most of the gear in my man-cave.
I love these kinds of videos. I wish you guys had some of these cheaper laptops on your site to take a look at. Also that one with the Disney sticker, I'd keep that on there if I bought it.
I've gotten a bunch of old pcs from work that they were just going to throw away because of the refresh cycle. Some of the laptops are 8th gen core i5s that still run great if you put 16gb of ram in them. I've just given them away to folks that I know need one.
A friend of mine works at a volunteer place in San Diego that refurbs computers for less fortunate people. They get donated computers and then rebuild and sell them at low prices for less fortunate people. Someone had donated an old thread ripper that he got going for a machine to setup 8 at a time.
@@yyeezyy630 Listen to the ending, they call it a "repair-style" video. Go ahead, correct me when I'm actually wrong - but make damn sure you are right.
did that with 10 HP Probook 250 G4 / G5 machines and a few others last year - ended up with 4 good ones, the best of which I kept - i5-6300U, 16GB RAM, 480GB SSD, 1920x1080 screen
I’ve sold laptops for many years. From 2012 and to now. I only sell locally and I was making bank between 2012-2016. I was buying them for as low as 40 dollars and flipping them for 300 and higher depending on the model and specs. Most have broken screens, battery and i went even as far as soldering new dc jacks on the laptop. Applying new thermal paste and windows install before I sell them out. My best sellers were hp dv series back on the day and people paid top dollar for those. Even Sony vaios were great. I was selling 3-5 a week but I couldn’t keep up with the demand at the time. I also had the best pictures out of everyone on CL that looks almost like stock pics which stood out on my sales. Sadly it started to die down and people are just relying a lot on their phones. Newer gen z kids only want gaming machines and the boomers are getting old. A lot of laptops I sell now are old senior citizen people that contact me and I only push like 1 or 2 laptop a month locally.
the ones with bad screen can be used for ghetto desktop replacements using hdmi cable along with usb mouse and keyboard. I've done it plenty of times and they work great.
I done something like this before its a hit or miss but I usually sell them for like 50$ cause most I find are thrown out and I just buy new ssds and batterys for them.
It doesn’t really matter with laptops they are self cleaning for the most part. Thermal paste is the opposite, literally more important for high performance laptops
I buy a lot of single "spares or repair" laptops off ebay and fix them up and most of the time they only require fairly simple fixes or a single part and often I wonder why the seller just didn't do the repair themselves. So it was interesting to see your process with a job lot of hundreds and yeah I guess if you have a stack like that to go through you pick the low hanging fruit, swap the easily swappable parts around and shift the rest on to people who have the time to make 1 good laptop out of 2 bad ones.
Linux or Tiny11 can do these laptops wonder and a second chance on life. I'm dreading for the day that Windows 10 is killed off and the mountain of ewaste that'll follow. But I'm holding out on hope for OS alternatives becoming more mainstream.
I resurrected my Zenbook that was windows 7 from 2012 with Kubuntu and currently it is running ChromeOS. Would be sick if Google allowed android apps on that ChromeOS for 3rd party hardware.
@@GenBumbleBee Unless you're an Apple drone, you've used Linux before. Android, Steam OS, even the OS on your smart TV and car radio are all Linux based.
I was thinking something similar! Depending on the CPU architecture and max RAM support, distros like antiX, WattOS, MX Linux, ChromeOS Flex, or a flavor of Ubuntu would be especially good ideas.
Guys i am getting a i3 6th gen ddr4 4gb ram with 500 gb hard drive and 80 gb ssd with a 1gb 128 bit graphic card pc for 96 dollars should I buy it, it also has windows 11 pre installed and 10-15 pre installed games
I would buy one with a broken screen if everything else, including the battery, worked and replace the screen myself. I have a really old laptop and it works great with an SSD and Linux Mint. My neighbor had a slightly newer laptop than mine; I installed an SSD and a new battery and it works great with Linux Mint.
Define awhile in terms of how long from buying to working on them? I buy and flip govt auction desktop, servers, laptops and it takes awhile for some of the stuff I buy to get bought (6mo at a minimum). But love the channel and the stuff you guys do.
honestly with those hps that have broken screens or bloated batteries you can swap the parts between them to make a decent one and sell it for more than you would get for as parts and the truly broken ones test them and if it boots goes to bios you can sell them complete as functional mobo swaps for broken mobos
How much does it cost to buy this many laptops in bulk? Computers are pretty low margin items but if it averages $100/laptop and costs $50-$100 to repair but is resalable for $200-250/piece, it's a worthwhile side hustle which minimizes e-waste and provides economical computers to those who just need a computer.
I'm back So this time I am getting a deal for a i5 6500 and rx 570 4gb 256bit graphic card with 8gb ram and 1tb hardrive with a 128 gb ssd and a gaming keyboard and mouse with a 24 inch 60 hertz display all of this for 203.78 dollars

Hey, can anyone tell me how I could get started into learning something like this? Computer repair I mean, I'm really interested but I don't know where to start.
omg, it looks like theyre all under threat, im joking but thats a lot of laptops boi, you will have to buy some ram for these boys, the screen is broken ouch, please do more of these, these are very entertaining to watch
I was under the impression that glass cleaner is bad for screens because it removes a layer of the screen and that water is best for cleaning screens. Can anybody chime in on this and state thir own evidence?

this definitely helps those poor college kids/ high school students that need a decent laptop but lack the money to buy new
Ye
Yeah if you want a good laptop get a used one and not a cheap new one because one has better specs and better build
Great video, nice to see how you are giving a second life to these laptops.

I still have the old Toshiba laptop from 2007-8. I'm pretty sure it was a Core Duo, it runs Linux now.

would like to see more of the joblot videos that you guys refurbish and resell
Absolutely should be a series. Seeing that Elitebook 840 with the swollen battery brought back some, corporate memories.
I would enjoy seeing more repair/restore videos.
This is refurbishing completely different then restoring
@@yyeezyy630 Listen to the ending, they call it a "repair-style" video. Go ahead, correct me when I'm actually wrong - but make damn sure you are right.
I’d love to see these in a series of videos. This was fun! Grab 10 more and make another!
You might find some matching "dead board, good screen" to pair with the bad screen ones
did that with 10 HP Probook 250 G4 / G5 machines and a few others last year - ended up with 4 good ones, the best of which I kept - i5-6300U, 16GB RAM, 480GB SSD, 1920x1080 screen

i wish if you could benchmark them
Heres a video idea " Bench marking a 100 cheap laptops to see which ones you should buy"
I done something like this before its a hit or miss but I usually sell them for like 50$ cause most I find are thrown out and I just buy new ssds and batterys for them.
are you guys going to at least re apply the thermal paste on the ones that are good???? a dusting at least???
It doesn’t really matter with laptops they are self cleaning for the most part. Thermal paste is the opposite, literally more important for high performance laptops

Guys I'm trying to play halo reach for the first time... can you stop distracting me please?
No.
Hey, I got a budget of 2-2.5k and I mostly play Valorant and Dota 2. Which gaming laptop should I get? I prefer more durable one. Any suggestions?
Didn't you guys go ahead and do thermal paste when you had them open to check RAM and SSDs?
Can you make a follow up video about how much profit was made
Great video as always guys!
Should check with a monitor if the hardware still works if the screens dead, could still use it that way
Be great to see you doing some consoles like this.
Gonna do a follow up?? Would like to see a deeper dive

Unrelated to the vid but if I switch motherboards but have the same components do I need to reinstall windows?
If it's the same platform, no. If you're changing from AMD to Intel or upgrading to a different socket, it is recommended.
Definitely a great plan to save still useful tech from going to landfil, more like this PSE.
