Philly Aids Thrift or give it to a young nerd who wants to play WarGames with it.
Check if your local public school can use it
IT guy here, just recycle it. I get the good you're tryna do but giving someone an old Chromebook will just frustrate them lol. Unfortunately they just go to ewaste after a few years. Staples and best buy will typically take older laptops
Thank you!
I see people giving away such items on FB free groups.
there's a cool e-recycling waste org in philly that hires formerly incarcerated folks and seems reeeeeallly cool! great place to donate it
Post it on your neighborhood Buy Nothing group. Someone will definitely take it.
That place is People Advancing Reintegration {PAR}-Recycle Works: https://home.par-recycleworks.org/
The guy who runs it, Q, is a great guy.
This is the most popular suggestion for donating computers, but public schools bulk buy from Dell etc with support contracts, they don't want one-off non-standard used hardware.
Fair point; I hadn't considered enterprise support and maintenance.
Drexel TechServe. I have no direct experience with these folks, but they are accepting donations:
"Most computers from within the last 5-10 years will meet these requirements."

Thanks!
