Uses for an old laptop

Let's see what we can come up with!

Uses for an old laptop

-Sell it online
-Server
-Destroy it
-Keep as an antique
-Install a new OS
-decoration
-Dismantle/disassemble to learn what computer insides look like

PS Does anyone know how to use a XP laptop as a second monitor for a Mac?

Re: Uses for an old laptop

install the latest version of Ubuntu coz it is fast

EDIT: and because it can run on 256MB of RAM although it works better with more....

Re: Uses for an old laptop

formatting and reinstalling your operating system makes your computer go as fast as when you first got it!
