I’m starting to get back into the swing of tech at large, and found a business laptop that fits my needs for a portable low power emulation device. When I look to buy it secondhand, because I don’t intend to burn money or the environment unnecessarily, I find dozens of extremely cheap listings without drives. Are these secondhand from businesses removing and drilling the drives or is there something else going on?

    all those laptops are probably also pre 8th gen processors.

    companies dumped them all because Microsoft promotes ewaste be forcing windows11 horse shit which requires Intel 8th gen +

    PROPER decommissioning for devices is to remove the drives.

    you’re getting Microsoft’s forced ewaste
