Plug your old laptops into your living room TV, buy a wireless mouse/keyboard combo, and you’ve got the ultimate media machine that you have full control over. I always do this whenever I move.
Yeah, but maybe remove the battery if the thing can run without it just on mains power. Leaving a battery plugged in (especially an old one) is not the best idea.
I’ve thought about how any old pc would blow all those proprietary devices out of the water with their flexibility to play anything, any format, any source. And I’ve also thought I currently have too many old laptops. No idea how I didn’t put two and two together until your comment. Thank you!
I do have a used ThinkPad what I bought out from my workplace for dirt cheap. Maybe it’s time to look into buying a TV.
