- COMPUTER. This week, we have a Dell Inspiron Mini laptop computer. The dimensions are 10.25-inches wide by 7.25-inches deep and about 1.25-inches thick/tall. The keyboard is imperceptibly smaller than a standard keyboard, so very easy to type on. The computer is in great condition, but an older model that originally had Windows XP. So, a bit slow when running Windows 10, and needs a Windows license for activation. It currently has Ubuntu version 16 (a version of Linux) which allows for faster operation. Because it’s a small computer, it has a small battery with about 2-hours of use between charges. Contact us if interested. [Contact]
- DENTAL CARE. We have some travel size toothpaste and new toothbrushes to be distributed sparingly as needed while supplies last.
- HARD DRIVE. Seagate 7200RPM mechanical hard drive, 3.5-inch size for desktop computer, 500GB capacity. Works well. Lightly used. Looks new. Includes box. Retail value $20. [View Similar Product]
- PRINTING. Some people don’t print regularly. When ink cartridges dry out, and are $70 to $100 to replace, it’s not cost effective when only a few pages are needed to be printed. If you occasionally need just a page or a few printed, we can handle that.
- WEBCAM. High Definition webcam. Brand: EMEET. Model: C90. Includes box. Retail value: $40 [View on Amazon]
- SMART SPEAKER. Google Nest Mini. Smart speaker. Requires smartphone for setup. Works with Google Home app. Retail value: $50 [Google Product Page]
- STAMPS. From our ‘neighborhood general store’ we can provide some stamps, eco-paper, pens, envelopes, and other office supplies. These are primarily provided as a convenience for residents in our building and neighborhood.
- TEA. We currently have a surplus of tea.
