My laptop is 20 years old. Are there any ideas on what I should do with it?

It is not twenty years old at all.

It appears to have been released in 2008, so it iss not quite but near.

Use it to play Tetris… Installing Chrome OS X might work well. After that, Chrome will function rather well.

Well, I have used a much faster mobile Core 2 Duo (one of the later models with 6MB of cache), and while it worked well enough for 480p YouTube, expecting more from it would be unreasonable, particularly if you wanted 60 frames per second playing.

These were attractive devices in their day, and I still think they do. Install Lubuntu and increase the RAM to 4 GB if you can. Will work for light office chores and online browsing but won’t be a speed demon.

It’s not worth it. consumes a great deal of energy inaction.

Please recycle properly to prevent it from ending up in the landfill.

dual booting Linux and Windows XP. For everything else, use Linux, and Windows for nostalgia. ideal application scenario

Two strikes.

With so many XP themes available for Linux, there’s no reason to spend additional storage on an outdated laptop.

LOL themes don’t offer the same experiences as a child—they just give the appearance of them. but varies from person to person. I simply responded with what I could have accomplished with this device if given the chance :smiley:

It is not too horrible. Although it is outdated and sluggish, you could be able to run Windows 10 on it if you spend some money on a SATA SSD and an additional 2GB of DDR2 SoDIMM. is a lovely, light-weight Linux distribution.
