7 days ago I attempted to buy a laptop for as low as $1 and it turns out you actually can boilers it’s not hard well you’ll see my final goal getting it to run Minecraft smoothly so this is my current laptop being brutally honest this thing sucks complete junk it might Not look like it but trust me worst thing I’ve ever bought runs any game at 100° as broken hinges missing screws the screen is coming out and it crashes all the time worst of all this laptop sent me back $800 I am never buying an expensive Laptop ever again which brings us to now I want to see if it’s possible to buy a laptop for as low as $1 and if so could it be better than my actual laptop I wouldn’t be the first person to have ever bought a laptop for as cheap as $1 Yeah so this might be impossible but um we we we’re going to find out let’s do this if I can get a laptop for $11 I don’t think anyone’s actually done that so I began my journey of finding a $1 laptop I fired up my computer not really Knowing where to start so I naively started searching the laptop category on Amazon but of course I wasn’t going to get a $1 laptop on Amazon in fact I couldn’t even find a single laptop under the equivalent of $300 I don’t know why I thought that would work I then remembered that site Called TAMU now a lot of my viewers have warned me against using TAMU apparently it’s suspicious but I’ve seen loads of YouTubers use it so I was like I went on temu I found lots of cheap stuff on that weirdly cheap stuff but sadly no laptops I wasn’t really sure what to try next so I tried something I kind of regret I went outside uh no no I didn’t regret I went outside and I drove to the computer store with the goal of begging for a $1 laptop yeah a okay we’re just about to go into cures And for a free laptop one $1 laptop I absolutely hate filming in public feels really awkward like I’m committing a crime oh now this is too awkward recycle kids washing machine review I rate this one 7 out of 10 very very great

square one I then remembered eBay eBay is great for like really cheap Tech but you have to be wary of scams there was so many cheap really really cheap Laptops some as low as $40 but I had to look further a lot of people sell their old broken laptops they put them on a thing called eBay auction this is where I saw a laptop that was like a dollar it was like a124 it apparently wouldn’t boot into Windows with 4 minutes left I decided to submit my bid hoping no one else would jump pump in I don’t know what to tell you I actually won Oh and now all we have to do is wait to see if the laptop will
