General

This despite being a budget laptop is not bad for build quality the one i have doesnt have anything more then stickers peeling off and some scratches, The keyboard while not the best still is pertty good though the trackpad is small and clunky, This is easily sovled by using a mouse or going keyboard only with a tiling window manger,

Perforamce

This is a budget lapotp form 2008 so perforamce is terrible by "modern standerds" but using a lightweight distro like my own Smolix it runs mostly without issue you could actually use this for things like: browsing the web or gohper/gemini, programing, or watching videos

You will not be able to run all 3d applications as the GPU only supports upto opengl 2.1 but it can play lightweight games like Minetest Openttd Assultcube and even Xonotic at very low settings and probably lower than native res it you want 60fps

Benchmarks

[Put benchmarks here]

Tips

To play Youtube videos you have to use a client like minitube

Run a lightweight distro like my Smolix-deb or Anitx Linux
