I’m rocking an ancient i7 Elitebook from 2011 or so that I maxed out to 32 GB of RAM. I bought it from a business surplus place on eBay for like $100 7-8 years ago. The screen resolution sucks and it has no biometric features but I slapped an SSD in there, removed the battery, and now it’s my Linux staging desktop.
My ten year old laptop has 4 gigs of RAM and can barely boot windows. It can run Linux pretty well but it still only has 4 gigs of RAM
My 12 years old netbook has 1 gig of RAM.
Still has its use for simple media.
Netbook Gang. Bring back netbooks, best computers that ever were.
Agreed!
Only netbook kids will get this.

So you’ve got half a 2023 Macbook Pro?

You count lack of biometrics as a drawback?
