By adding an SSD and maximizing the RAM, along with using a free operating system such as Linux or FreeBSD, your laptop can easily be extended another five years of life.
@nixCraft Sigh, not if it is an EEE Pc. Even with an SSD is now too much slow for videos/streaming/browsing and many uses. I think that about 10 years is the minimum limit for a decent reuse.
@AmpBenzScientist @gisgeek @nixCraft it could never stream anything under Linux because there was no driver for that garbage powervr igpu
