Ask HN: Give me your used laptop (and a book)
I think I could I just you the simplest reason why I need it.
I am currently learning to program, and I don't have a computer of my own. Up to now, I am just renting computer since six months ago when I started learning to code. Renting is costly and computers have a lot of restrictions. (Not to mention setting up the computer, automation will do the job).
I've already learned the basics of programming. Many recommends Python for complete beginners, so I did. I want to focus and spend more of my time learning/programming without worrying about the cost, restrictions, and setting up the computer.
So, will you help me guys? I'll make it clear that I am NOT asking for your money (nor I am letting you give me some so I could just buy my own, NO.). What I asked is your soon-to-be trashed laptop. Maybe you have recently bought a macbook, and there's no place for the old one. Maybe, you don't need it anymore and want to trash it already. Or maybe, you're just too generous and you want to help a stranger. You can donate it to me. That's already a really big help to me. :))
I am serious. I want to learn.
(And also, if you happen to have a book about programming, maybe you could donate it too. :) )
