About Linux
All our computers run Linux Mint 22.2 (Computerbank Edition), a free, open-source operating system that's fast, secure and virus-resistant.
No licence fees, no subscriptions
Far fewer viruses and malware than Windows
Runs smoothly on older hardware
No tracking or forced updates
Pre-installed Software
- Facebook, Instagram and other social media work straight away through Firefox or Chrome, with no extra software needed.
- You can store your files on a cloud drive like Google Drive if you'd like, but you don't have to; everything also saves locally on the computer.
Our eBay Store
Open to everyone, no concession card required. We sell equipment on eBay that isn't suitable for our concession program, including enterprise-grade gear, vintage items, surplus hard drives and bulky equipment.
All funds raised go directly back into our operating costs. As a self-funded charity with no government or corporate financial support, eBay sales help us keep our doors open and stop usable equipment going to landfill.
What you'll find
- Enterprise and business-grade laptops and desktops
- One-of-a-kind and end-of-life equipment
- Surplus hard drives and components
- Vintage and specialty gear
