What the frig do I do with my old Macbook?

3.5 year old Black macbook. Pretty much perfect except for two things:

  • 5 keys are kaput - I was using my wireless keyboard which conveniently fit right on top of the laptop’s keyboard.
  • It tends to overheat when using the wireless keyboard in this manner (covers the vents).

It would be great as a desktop or in some other stationary use. But I can’t really sell it with the janky keys, can I? Can I use it as some sort of server/DVR/media center? How exactly do I do that?

  1. foxtrotte answered: sounds like too much work. i’d say give it to some younger cousin who could use it or sthg. 2 cents! good luck
  2. alohanico answered: ebay. I sold my old laptop and someone bought it even though the monitor was kaput. You can probably get a decent amount for it.
  3. kapi answered: make it a media center. Install plex on it.
