Got an old computer with Windows 7? It can still be a productive machine for someone! For those who are adventurous, you can convert it into a Chromebook - a computer that only runs Google Chrome. This is accomplished through a free program called CloudReady. Bonus: most computers feel a lot faster as Chromebooks than they ever did running Windows. This would be considered a “moderate” difficulty DIY project, with the risk that if the conversion doesn’t go over properly, the computer may no longer function at all.

OR, would you like to donate your computer and not have to go through a technical process? That is where local nonprofit Disability Partners (located on New Leicester Highway in West Asheville) comes in. You can donate your old computer to them, they will erase the machine, install a working operating system (Windows 10 or CloudReady), and provide the computer to a local individual with a disability. Contact them at ‭(828) 298-1977‬ (please allow 2-3 days for them to return your call due to increased demand and changes in their office protocols due to the pandemic).

Wanting a new computer? Wait for prime season
We keep an eye on the computer industry and convert that knowledge into practical advice for you.  Considering a new computer purchase? Market inventory is currently low due to the back-to-school rush of buying computers. However, we are entering the prime season for manufacturers to announce their latest computers, in plenty of time for the holiday season. ​
