Digital Inclusion distributes free second-hand computers to eligible people living in Luxembourg. Current average waiting time is less than 1 month.

This page describes who is eligible and how to apply for a computer.

Since September 22, 2025, the “one laptop per household” rule no longer applies, as long as we keep receiving enough donations. From this date, each household member aged 12 or older can receive their own computer (including laptops). This change is possible thanks to the increase in donations — previously, we had to limit distributions to one per household due to limited donations.

We supply computers to households receiving the allocation de vie chère and to refugees.

Each adult must apply for themselves. Adults can also submit applications for minors (12–18 years old) in their household.

You can apply for a free second-hand computer if you:

• Live in Luxembourg
• And meet one of the following conditions:
  • Your household receives the Cost-of-living benefit (allocation vie chère / AVC)
  • You are a beneficiary of a collective debt settlement procedure (Law of 8 January 2013 on over-indebtedness)
  • You hold a Residence Permit – category “Vie Privée”
  • You are an asylum seeker (DPI) or MNA (unaccompanied minor)
  • You are a beneficiary of temporary protection

👉 Minors (12–18 years old) can also receive a computer, but an adult in the household must apply for them.

For unaccompanied minors (MNA), a social worker can apply on their behalf.

Our computers come with an Operating System already installed and are ready to use. They have at least a core-i3/5/7 generation processor, and run Windows or macOS. They come with a free repair warranty, except for the battery (which may even be missing).

Our Linux laptops: they are good laptops, but they are not Windows 11 compatible.

Comments:

• An adult cannot apply for themselves and for a minor at the same time.
• A household can only have one application for a minor at the same time. This means you always have to wait for one computer to be distributed before submitting an application for another minor.
