New Technology to Recycle Netbooks -- www.adapterlist.com

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- [notebook battery] I've had several people ask me what I do with all the netbooks, sub-notebooks, laptops and nettops that I have written about on here. The short answer is, either I continue to use them for installation testing or I find a good home for them and pass them on. When I do that, I always encourage the new owners to use them with Linux.

I've had several good examples of this http://www.adapterlist.com/dell/latitude-d531.htm recently. I think I mentioned here a while back that I loaned an HP 2133 Mini-Note to a friend who was going to a remote location in Eastern Europe to do some relief work for a few weeks. I had originally bought that Mini-Note with Linux on it (SLED 10), but before giving it to him I loaded it with the latest Linux Mint, made sure that it had the various connectivity and mail programs he wanted, and gave him a 5 minute introduction to using it.

Another case that is still ongoing is a family who will be going to Africa for a couple of months in the coming summer. They wanted a sturdy portable system to take along which they could use to unload and view pictures from digital cameras, keep trip logs, and perhaps access the internet when and if possible. Once again the Mini-Note came out, but this time it will be "for keeps". I reloaded Mint, so they would be making a clean start, made sure the packages they would need were on it, and gave them a brief introduction to it.

In both of these cases, the Mini-Note was particularly well-suited to the need. It's very durable, has a solid case and sturdy keyboard, it has the necessary slots and plugs (SD Flash and USB), and it didn't cost all that much to begin with (about 350 Swiss Francs), so if something happens to it during the trip, it's not a big deal. This is one of the situations that netbooks are supposed to be good for, isn't it?

So, worry not, the multitude of systems around here are not being neglected or abandoned. In most cases I am still using them myself, and when I no longer have a use for one, or someone else has a better use or need for one, I clean it up, reload it, and pass it http://www.adapterlist.com/dell/inspiron-1525.htm on - and in most cases, we end up with another convert to Linux.
