If you have an old laptop, replacing Windows with Linux could give it a new boost of life!  Examples of Linux could be LinuxMint (https://linuxmint.com) or Ubuntu.  Nowadays you can usually stick your linux on a USB stick and try it without deleting Windows.

I had Lenovo sales execs in the car a few months ago and they seemed anxious to unload a ton of gear to Irish retailers in a hurry.The covid surge on laptops has ended and the semiconductor thing is fizzling out.Be careful yer not buying last years out of date stock gents.

I'm not a computer expert but the RAM speed is the important factor.We have a 4gig of RAM lenovo in our gaff and it takes about 10/15 minutes to boot up.My cheapo smartphone is so much better at everything.Th only time I use the laptop is when I'm using ROS.

Maybe the newer ones are faster.
