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.

So you've got half a 2023 Macbook Pro?

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.

You count lack of biometrics as a drawback?
