If you're at a real loss, I have a 2012 Acer C710 that I was going to flush
and clean for ebay. I'd be happy to pass it along. (I'm in
Lawrenceville/Trenton)

 To all interested:  That C710 can have a new EFI firmware flashed on it, and it can run the latest version of Linux with no problems.  Wifi, cameras, all supported perfectly out of the box with Fedora.

The flashing is a little fiddly (if I recall correctly) but when you're done it makes a nice Linux laptop.
