For Sale Pay It Forward - Computer gen3/gen4 Equipment - Free

[dvaidya]

I have some gen3/4/5 computers (tiny/slim Lenovo/HP) with decent amount of memory (>=8gb memory (mostly 16gb), >=256GB SSD drives in them) that I was running Windows 10 on hooked up to TV/Audio equipment. They were running Win10 just fine but with MS no longer supporting and patching Win10 I have moved to gen10/11/12 setup so the older systems are available in case someone wants a simple browsing system. I can install Linux Desktop on them which works without any issues.

Computers are i5 I believe. I also have unused wired keyboard and at least one monitor 1920x1080 (Dell/Asus) monitor.

Located in South Brunswick / Princeton area.

Chrome OS Flex (if there isn't a current ChromeOS) works well on these too.

If I can get Chrome OS Flex installed on it it will be better than Kubuntu which is what I have installed on them.

i assume these are desktop based systems, but just confirming.

Could be good for someone needing a Zwift setup on the cheap. I run mine off a 12 y/o macbook and it runs well enough.

Yes, they are desktop based systems. I will take pictures of the Lenovo ones tomorrow along with other stuff that’s available.

Can you provide the CPU model#? My 7-8 yo laptop is a bit slow loading Zwift. How is zwift on Chrome?

yikes - Android apps run in a container and have a horrible time with BTLE devices.
While I haven't tried it, my prediction would be "not great" if at all.
I'm going to try it on my chromebook

If you are an apple person, 1st Gen Apple TV 4k is a good choice. just because it works nicely with the companion app on the same platform,
along with remote on phone.

It installed, and started. Seems to talk to the companion app. I have an Acer Chromebook 314.
