throw it against a wall. better yet, pretend to grab your friend's MacBook then switch it out and slam it against the floor shattering it before he figures out whats going on and film him and poast his reaction on youtube and fuck his wife because fuck him for having a MacBook in the first place.

It has a web browser, word processing, photo editing. If you are giving it to some charity that does this they should be installing the needed software on it anyway.

Worst case? You clicked a link to a tumblr blog a few years back than included 40 porn pics, one of which is underage. Some version of that is still in your memory somewhere. The church has an IT guy that volunteers time for them and he notices it. Turns it over to cops. You goto prison as a chester.
