Whether it’s an old Windows desktop or an out-of-date Macbook, you might have a computer or two collecting dust in your closet. And while dated specs may make them difficult to use nowadays, there are a few things you can still use them for.

Phones

While an old phone is the opposite of fun to use (especially on the Android side of things), there are some things you can do with their cameras—even if the cameras aren’t good.

Tablets

Your old tablet may take a long time to boot up, but that doesn’t matter as much if it’s only serving one purpose.

Miscellaneous

Here are the projects that don’t fit into any of the categories above. That doesn’t mean you should discount them though, they’re still pretty cool.

Hopefully one of these suggestions will save your old tech from being dumped just yet. While old tech may not be as useful as the brand-new devices, it’s always nice to save some money by repurposing something.
