Our Call to Action
Help Us Help Others
Donate, Sponsor, Repair, Reuse & Up-Cycle
- Those with more doing more for those with less -
We are doing some charitable work, so we will be asking people to donate some old tech that may be broken or simply unused, so we can fix/up-cycle it.
It's about helping the environment, stopping landfill, but also giving those on a lower income, access to good tech and being able to repair that good tech at a reasonable price.
We are hoping to get some newer computers and partner up with software firms to provide creative students that may be experiencing more than the average difficulty
(with the cost of living crisis), to allow them to get a good computer and good software to fulfil their creative learning needs.
This is a work in process, so please keep an eye on us.
College 2024
(Independence on a budget)
College on a Budget
We currently have a selection of 2015 MacBook Pro's and MacBook Air's.
We are pushing these this year as they have two years of support from Apple as the can run Monterey.
This makes them a good and cost effective solution for teenagers to have their own machine for college. They get cost effective independence. You get peace of mind knowing that its not a break the bank status symbol.
Note:
Monterey only has two years of operational life left, it will work after that, but you'll find that some software companies and websites wont support it (Microsoft and some banks).
Note 2:
Apple are in the middle of a computer revolution, the new machines they are churning out are mostly under spec'd, this means there will be a mad rush to get machines with the correct spec'd next summer (with the new OS next year). After this there will be a lot of the new chipset machines on the resale market.
So instead of spending big now and having to buy again, spend small now and save the bigger spend till Autumn 2025, when everyone that bought the wrong machine, will be trading up and selling their old machine on.
We are currently selling (Summer 2024)
2015 Macbook Air,
8GB Ram running Monterey
£150
2015 Macbook Air,
4GB Ram running Monterey
£110
(note this is a one app at a time machine, you can run more and it wont complain, but to get the best speed /efficiency, it's one big app at a time, or a couple of smaller apps).
