For those wondering why I have so many computers: I collect used/old computers, most of which I have gotten for sub-40 dollars or free. I usually get laptops with something not working so I can do some repairs, and then do something fun with it. The only laptop listed that I paid full price for was the GPD Pocket 3, everything else was either very cheap, or free, as people usually give me their old laptops when they upgrade.
