Please read the rules here
Item # 2 - Toshiba netbook PC
This is about 8 years old, but would make a good first PC for a kid, or as a backup laptop.
It will come formatted with no O/S, so you will need to install whatever software you like using USB or download, there is no physical drive. With no moving parts, this used to go between 5 -6 hours on a charge.

So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

What's the model number? If it meets requirements, I could install CloudReady for whoever wins it here, if they wish. Generally speaking, if it can't even support CloudReady, an older laptop just needs to be scrapped as it won't be secure, functionally fast enough, or have drivers to support older hardware.
I only recently became aware of CloudReady. It's a free (for home users) Linux-based version of ChromeOS. It has the Chrome browser, is really simple to use, updates itself automatically, is pretty secure without additional protection, and is really quick even on older hardware. I'm converting several older laptops to CloudReady for donation to a charity.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.
Polk - Monitor 10As, SDA 2Bs, LSi9s, White RTi4s, S4s, M3s, various centers.
Boston - CR7, CR6s, CR4s.
Subs - M&K V4, M&K VX-7B, JBL SUB150P, Jamo Sub 250, and others.

The link to the Toshiba can be found in the original thread (Karma x4), I will repost it here for those who opt not to look there... LOL

Appears it would support CloudReady. RAM upgrade to 2GB advised, especially to use apps or multiple tabs/windows. Windows 7 Starter would be really slow on it.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

Yeah already planned on that"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963)
