I found a MacBook Pro with a broken display. Any creative uses? (lemmy.ml)

In some e-waste bin I found an entry level M1 MacBook Pro. The display didnโ€™t work (visible crack lines on the panel and the screen lights up but only shows black), but everything else about the computer is totally fine, I determined after testing.

I managed to factory reset the thing and now I have an extra computer on my hands. And a good one, at that, because I think even an entry level M1 is still a good computer.

I already have a laptop, desktop, and an old server. So I feel like all my needs are met. But are there creative uses with an extra Mac?

Probably the only reason I found it is the busted display ๐Ÿ˜…. I guess to someone that either meant it didn't work at all, or they just stopped caring and didn't want to deal with it anymore.

Maybe one day I'll find a matching macbook pro where the computer doesn't work but the display does. And then I'll mix-and-match them and have one fully working laptop and one fully broken one ๐Ÿ˜€
