Free: Apple Macbook (Heybridge CM9) Apple 13" Macbook, a few years old, but running really well on Linux Lite Operating Syatem. As its name suggests, it's a lightweight system, requiring far fewer resources than modern Windows, but giving really good perfomance on older machines. It includes a whole lot of useful software (see photo), making it an excellent machine for everyday computer tasks - Office, Internet, Youtube, Emails, Music, Videos etc. It has Wifi, a load of help and advice built in and there is lots of free software available online. It has good battery life and comes with a charger Altogether a lovely little machine. Any questions - just ask!

Free: PC, monitor, keyboard & mouse (Heybridge CM9) Complete system - PC, monitor, keyboard & mouse. It's quite a few years old, too old to run modern Windows, which is really resource hungry. It has a fresh install of the latest Linux Lite OS, which looks and feels pretty much like Windows and includes loads of software, including Email, Internet Browser, Office Suite etc. - check out the photos. It's an ideal machine for someone who wants a PC for everyday computer tasks. It really runs really well. It's in good clean condition. It doesn't have Wifi, so needs to be plugged into your router with an Ethernet cable, of which I have plenty of various lengths.

Request: Computer equipment (Heybridge CM9) Wanted - any old computer equipment for refurb, update & re-offer for free - PCs, laptops, monitors, components. Even with quite old machines, the chances are that I can refurbish and upgrade to make a usable device, perfectly capable of basic everyday tasks - internet, emails, Office etc. - that I can then re-gift back for free to someone who has a need. I've been doing this for a while, finding homes for old equipment from friends and family. I've re-furbed and re-gifted 3 laptops, 11 desktops, 3 tablets and various other bits since requesting on here, with more stuff in the pipeline. Any offers greatly appreciated, keep them coming! Roy

Free: Windows 11 PC (Heybridge CM9) Gifted It's big, it's heavy and it's a few years old. But, despite being officially incompatible, it's running Windows 11 just fine, good speed, good graphics. Good spec., plenty of RAM, SSD system drive, HDD data drive, dedicated graphics card and Wifi. If you have an old Windows 10 machine, you're OK with keeping your monitor etc. and are willing to swap, I can offer the base unit only - let me know what you've got. I can then refurb and upgrade your old machine and re-offer it for free. Alternatively, if you're in need of a complete setup, I can offer the machine with monitor, keyboard and mouse. I'm getting huge numbers of requests for the PCs I'm offering, so please only request if you really need.
