  • Hi everyone, thank you for 12:41 of your time. Office nearby has throwing away some stuff and between all I found these 2 laptops. ( Not in garbage but all was left if somebody want to get something )
    I got it and let's give them a second chance. In this video I restored and upgrade Dell Inspiron 4112 , a low specs laptop, Intel i3 2350M, ( Intel HD graphics - no dedicated GPU ) 8GB DDR3 and 240GB SSD. In general is still good for some basic things, not bad.
    The Lenovo is going to be in some of upcoming videos, but first need to do some repairs and find parts :)

    Nice restoration. I have an old Acer Aspire netbook with Celeron CPU from about 2014 that I recently restored, upgrading the RAM and adding an SSD. It's amazing the lease of life an SSD gives. Before it was unusable. Now it's competent.

    The Dust isn't the problem with smoking but the tobacco smoke contains tar and this together with some other stuff makes the dust disgustingly sticky.
    I recommend using a marker to write the year onto the new CMOS battery so if someone in the future opens it up knows if the battery may be still working or should be changed.

    Awesome restoration once again Andrew 👍💪🥰. Laptop looking new again 🤩🤯✊. It’s amazing how many of these laptops end up being junked 🤔☹ when they’re perfectly fine for teenagers uses such as school work, assignments, homework, web browsing, emails, social media etc. these would make a great school initiative and make the laptop a very cheap entry point for many ☺😇

    Hope you'll be able to bring it to life just like you did with this Dell.

    Amazing work
    Also show the boot up time after installing the ssd compared to before this will help people recognise the value of SSD. I'm using Asus x556ur but i had the worst experience till now. Recently i have installed an 500gb crucial SSD & my boot up time reduced to 30 seconds from 2.5 minutes. Restart would take 5 to 10 minutes & restart in 45-50 seconds. SSD has given a new life to my laptop. I recommended SSD 100% if you're still using hard drives for OS . Buy SSD from trusted brands like Samsung,WD, crucial or Kingston

    Really, i3's have a lot of power, either for retro gaming or even for basic IT work. Very glad to see these laptops get a second chance.

    • @mariobrito427
      @mariobrito427 Před rokem +1

      Sorry to reply to my own comment, but i figure i should clarify: i'm a very big retro gaming enthusiast, and I also happen to think that old business laptops are a great opportunity. I bought one of my old work laptops for €100, it was about to be trashed and they gave me the option to buy it for pretty much a symbolic price. I'm pretty sure it's an i3, although memory is fuzzy (it was an old HP business laptop). It has perfect performance with retro games, even when putting them under Linux + Wine. So i can relate to your work rescuing laptops from the trash to give them a second life.
      Really enjoying your videos so far. Cheers!

    You have done an excellent job cleaning everything and I didn't think I could wash the plastic and other parts in liquid, so that's a lesson for me.
    Where did you source the brackets to mount the SSD?
