20+ years ago...worked for a company which used old Toshiba satellite laptops. They were running DOS 6.22 for a Medicaid provider in Arizona. They just threw them out...rather than sell them to the employees. Going through a merger at the time...they just bought new.

Mentioned the Lenovo retail model they hang on a monitor in stores. Paid $50 for it...did some upgrades such as another SSD/more memory. Good ArcaOS/OS/2 box.
