I booted up a T60. That’s right, from 2006, back when Lenovo had just bought ThinkPad from IBM, so it still has the IBM ThinkPad logo, anyways. It has a Core Duo, no no, not a Core 2 Duo, Core Duo the 32bit one. Put an SSD in it, put Debian with XFCE on it, and it runs very well. Emails, LibreOffice, Music, no problem. Besides both batteries being dead, it’s good for a few more years.
So far as I remember (it’s been some time since I used it) it worked well enough with the websites I did visit (besides watching youtube—through invidous—, for obvious reasons).
tell me about it. get linux and a good adblocker and you probably could still use a core 2 duo system for most peoples everyday tasks.
I will tell you about it.

really shows us how they could make longer lasting electronics if they wanted.
yeah, but opening up one of the modern shitwebsites in firefox or chrome will absoultely choke that machine to death.

to be fair most of it comes from advertising and tracking, a good adblocker helps quite a lot.
