Looking for ideas. Apple offered me $500 for my old laptop, but when I sent it in they say, "Oh, a scratch. We'll give you $100." There's no way a perfectly functioning and upgraded M1 MacBook Air is worth only $100. So I got it back.
Now I'm looking for a good home for it. I don't want money, I want it to have a good life. Two conditions:
It has to help make the world a better place.
I'm not shipping it, so the transfer has to be local to Sydney.
@robpike Just an idea for making a better world. When I bought my framework I gave a thinkpad to my wife and I donated her old laptop to NSW Homelessness Services in Sydney through Givit.org.au. It ended up going to a domestic violence survivor that was trying to end her studies and rebuild her life through a career jump.
@robpike I took two M1 Macbook Air's in to an Apple store and they gave me $500 gift cards without inspecting the laptops at all, they didn't even verify they booted. All they did was enter in the serial numbers. If you take it into a physical store they probably won't give you any trouble over the scratches.
