Come to think of it, using older computers raises the likelihood of Linux compatibility and decreases the overcomplexification of brand new computers. I have a laptop that has a little 4 screw door to access your hard disk or ssd, and it has a battery that's easily removeable-replaceable by a human with an IQ above 60. Don't try that with a 2025 laptop.
