I get a bunch from people that don’t know what to do with them. I nuke the hard drive and then donate, these days. If I can’t nuke it, I take the platters out and destroy those. Haven’t come across with one with SSD yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
Before, Ibused to try to install different versions of Linux and just fix whatever issue the laptop had. Coolest thing I did was replace the charging port on one.
I have a continuous urge to buy a lot of EOL laptops… I must resist.

Businesses love using mini-PCs. I’m keeping a lookout for expanding my server and a TV connected device for emulation, game streaming, etc.
