Laptop computers are more common than ever, today. When you buy a new computer, one of the first decisions is whether to get a laptop or desktop and most people lean towards mobility. The convenience and versatility make for a much more attractive solution.

As technology grows, the number of consumers who are first time buyers dwindles. Technology is an integral part of our society and as time goes on, the demand is even greater. As this trend continues, we need more materials to produce these devices that we are constantly replacing and upgrading.

So what happens to the old laptop that gets replaced? Sometimes it ends up as a hand me down. Sometimes it gets resold or stripped for parts. Most times, though, it's thrown out and ends up in a landfill. There is a large amount of electronic waste that is produced by old laptops.

The various models have different parts that may or may not be able to be recycled. Odds are though, the motherboard, battery and ram can always be reused in some way.
