Extra laptops, Ideas?

[Ariona]

So my mom and dads laptops will be given to me soon. 1 is a Chromebook with a 350GB HDD, the other a windows 8.1 laptop with an intel CPU of somesort.

 

I already have 2 monitors. What ideas do You guys have for these? If there is a way to use the screens as a third/4th monitor Please let me know.

You could also use them Folding...

Sell them and use them to buy more monitors

this, although I don't think you'd get much for a used chrome book and a random intel laptop unless it has an i7

Another thing you could do is see if you can't interface the displays with a display input and a power source, then you can use them as mini external monitors like Logan did back in the day.

Fold with the Intel one, and just use the chrome book, or sell it.

Definitely do some folding though

Ehh, just an idea.

 

I'm a cheapskate, so I could get a couple of old used monitors with what I could get for the laptops and I'd be totally happy

whats folding? Also I rather not sell anything.

I've always wondered, is there anything you get out of Folding? or is it just happiness in the knowledge that you're helping the world be a better place or something?

I'm not sure they did, but they may well have done at some point. I haven't watched a lot of TS's old videos because they lose relevance pretty quickly.

I found a video on how to install android to Chromebooks. Definitely doing this! 

 

And I guess maybe I'll make the Windows laptop a Rendering / uploading laptop for videos? Not sure.
