Please Colo my Macbook cheap

No joke. Really. Lets see if this is feasible.

Any location in EU, it comes with USB-C Gbit ethernet and a 45W power brick.

I have 3 unused with broken display or keyboard that should still do fine as servers (1TB SSD, i7-6700HQ etc.)

    Is this legal for people to accept since you're a sanctioned individual? Genuine question, not trying to make it hard on you.

    Ah don't worry bro, your bank will not cancel you because of my macbook :disappointed:

    No, not an issue, im not on any that should be internet relevant.

    You'll probably want to have the battery removed from it as I imagine most datacenters wont be pleased with a lithium fire hazard sitting in a rack

    Will the macbook even boot without its battery?

    They do.. but some Macs absolutely cripple the CPU.
    Example. My early 2011 with its Sandy Bridge true 4 core, is forced to 800mhz and will not go to its base clock or turbo until I insert a battery.

    It is EXTREMELY miserable.

    I posted about this sketchy site a while back and was always wondering if it was real. Maybe you'll test it out for us? https://www.colaptop.com/

    Also this is real, i buy a "new" used Macbook like every year due to Keyboard or Display issues...
    It should be a ok server forever.

    Hmm sounds about right for something apple to do something like that.

    Actually that’s an Intel decision.
    The same happens on a HP Elitebook 840 G5. Although you get 2ghz and 0 efforts to turbo.

    Edit: tempted to see what happens on a Yoga X1 Gen 6 Tiger Lake

    Edit 2: a Yoga X1 Gen 6 with a i7 1185G7 will meet max turbo on all cores at 4.6 before expiring and going down to 2.8. Without a battery.
