Personally I am having difficulty letting go of my old laptop.
It has been a constant companion to me reliable easy to fix or work on a little lacking in power but the battery was a marathoner 4-6 hours on a full charge.
I was recently gifted 2 laptops.
one is a new in box budget laptop a
toshiba c55t-a5222
celeron 1005m 1,9ghz ivy bridge
4gig ddr3
500 gig 5400 rpm hitachi drive
reltek 8188 pos wireless card...
the other is not new and not likely to be used.
HP dv 9000 circa 2006
core duo or core 2 duo not sure yet need to boot it no power cord.
likely 1.66ghz-2.1 ghz
17 inch
weighs a ton...
has xp on it atm supports vista might load 7 on it...
My old rig is in my sig but it is a toshiba c650d
1.65 ghz bobcat amd apu
radeon 6310
6 gig of ddr3
750 gig 7200 rpm hitachi
Killer 1202 wireless card
I guess what i want is opinions and ideas my mind is a bustle with the new laptop and all the features it has the cpu is in a socket i think i could put up to a i5 3230m in it i can probably swap the wifi card out of my old laptop into this one and the hard drive too then new 500gig into old one and old 8188 wifi card into the old one could restore 7 to it or load linux.
Also my initial impressions on the new laptop the sound sucks it is louder and painfully low quality my older toshiba did not have great sound and was a bit on the quiet side maxed out but it was better than this one. It feels smaller than my old laptop.
