Well that's what I'd use on a Macbook, even if it were already broken.

With a couple of friends, we whacked an old mac so thin it could be posted under the door of the technology teacher's lounge. I hate apple products 
More recently I crushed a G3 HP ML350 (after setting up it's replacement) in a 30 tonne press. Guaranteed no data will be recovered from that thing!

Re: computers
Do us a favour eh? Next time you plan to destroy some IT kit, please make a video to show the proceedings. 
You know, that might just be an idea for a new series on one of those obscure TV channels.

Even the departmental buyers of such things at work only get around 25% off and that's when they buy hundreds on a repeat basis.
So did you mean that they're giving you a processor upgrade free, gratis and for nowt in place of the one that was standard fit in that machine or is it the i3-equipped model that's gone up in price. Either way, you bagged it at sensible money.
