CPU: i3-2370M
RAM: 4GiB
No HDD/SSD
Screen size: 1366 x 768
Price Range(?): $35, PayPal only
Shipping: Unknown, depends on UPS
iGPU: Intel HD 4000
2 included chargers(in case one fails. we bought two xd)
State: Used, however also needs to be repaired(The charging port is damaged due to Samsung soldering it straight to the motherboard rather than giving it it's own component, throwing a soldering iron at it or reballing it would be a quick fix. Overall is in great shape besides that, battery lasts quite a while(iirc around 5-6 hours on max brightness. It's *technically* untested as the battery is dead and can't be charged because the charging component being popped off slightly), no other wear or damage(including scuff marks or anything. There's nothing Edit There's a scuff mark on the top left corner, but it's barely noticable and does not impact performance on the system)
As per usual, will be cleaned off quite a lot before shipping

When you enroll in University-level computer science courses expecting to learn some great theory. Formal methods, category theory, operational semantics, formal definitions, the history of how theorem provers led to ML-family languages and the creation of typed lambda calculus from prototypical LISPs. But instead you end up spending 3 class periods on iterating for-loops in Python.
Deputy Sheriff The Viking Programmer
So The Viking Programmer is selling some old laptops, desktop parts, and much more! Stay tuned if you're interested! Offers will be coming up within the following days. PM @trevtheretardeddev if you're interested in any! More details soon. If you want extra…
Update, all profits will have a percentage go towards the Free Software Foundation along with a charity of choice towards Australia and help against the wildfires!

"Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well.
Code paid by the people should be available to the people!"

How can learning functional programming make me a more prepared programmer?
Functional languages have a surprising tendency to predict the future of more mainstream languages. Java brought garbage collection into the mainstream in 1995; Lisp had it in 1958. Java didn't have generics until version 5 in 2004; the ML family had it in 1990. First-class functions and type inference have been incorporated into mainstream languages like Java, C#, and C++ over the last 10 years, long after functional languages introduced them. By studying functional programming, you get a taste of what might be coming down the pipe next.
