Fully functional. Excellent cosmetic condition. The screen has no scratches or faults - see photo.

This laptop has Chrome OS Flex installed *NOT* Microsoft Windows. This means you *CANNOT* install and use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint or Excel. But you can use the online versions, or Google Docs etc.

Chrome OS Flex is described by Google as 'a modern, cloud-based operating system that’s secure and easy to manage.' Chromebook laptops are very popular with schools. Chrome OS Flex can be installed on older computers and gives a very similar experience to a Chromebook.

Windows 11 *WILL NOT* install and run on this laptop (the processor is too old and it does not have a TPM module). Windows 10 *SHOULD NOT* be installed as Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in October this year so this is very strongly not advised.

The laptop features an Intel Core i3 M350 processor @ 2.27 GHz, 8 GB RAM, a small SSD hard disk, VGA and HDMI outputs, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and LAN RJ-45 Ethernet network connectivity, and three USB 2 ports.

Includes mains battery charger.

Why might I ask people why they want a free laptop? Though rescued from the trash, I have spent some time (and a little money) refurbishing the laptop (cleaning, repairing, testing, and in this case buying a new power supply and replacing a missing key cap). The laptop therefore has some cash value, and I don't want traders to profit from my efforts.

I do all of this in my free time to help reduce electrical waste (and laptops have the highest embodied CO2 of all electrical goods).

Thanks for your understanding.
