Title: Free Laptop - Gone - 2 Smartphones still available
Post by: Not Now Kato on July 06, 2020, 11:03:20 am: Further to my previous giveaway - https://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=276711.0

I still keep hearing that there are people in lockdown having difficulties with having to share one computer between several children. Also, that there are others who don't have a computer at all but would benefit from having one.

I have a further Laptop which is surplus to requirements and would like to donate it to anyone in that position free of charge. It is fully working and has Windows 10 installed. This has been passed on to me to give away by my Brother-in-Law, (Raithy on this forum), and was his own personal property. I have cleared it down of any information pertaining to him and reinstalled Windows 10, so it is as it would have been from the shop.

Details as follows: -
Lenovo Ideapad 310-15ABR 15” Laptop Laptop now gone to Idler
AMD A10 7th Generation Processor
12 GB RAM

It will come with a Logitech Wireless Mouse and power supply, but no manual or bag – the manual can be downloaded from Lenovo’s web site if needed.

We would like it to go to a fellow Rovers supporter if possible. If not then do you know of anyone/organisation who could collect them it distribute it to someone in such a position.

I also have 2 Android Smartphones which again I would like to give away free to anyone in need of one, (a relative or friend in lockdown who needs to stay in touch maybe). They are: -
NEXUS 4
NEXUS 5

Both are fully working, not locked to any network and in good condition with no cracks or scratches to the screens so only need a SIM and they're good to go.

They would need to be collected from my house in Bessacarr as my wife and I are self isolating due to age and health conditions.

PM me for contact details if you would like the Laptop or one of the mobiles and say which you would like.

NB. THESE ARE BEING OFFERED FREE IN THE SPIRIT OF THE FORUM TO ANYONE IN GENUINE NEED OF THEM. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THEM TO SELL ON. THANK YOU

I'll update this as and when any of them are claimed.
