I paid $100 for an old Toshiba, just wanted to browse around while watching TV. It had W7 on it but I wanted Linux Mint. I tried to keep Windows but the install wouldn't go along with it. Never had that problem before so I think Windows prevented it. Regardless I put Mint 18 on it and everything works.
In fact it all worked so well I got greedy. I installed Kodi, then XFCE components so I can log into that instead of the full blown Mint, which cut memory use in half. I can stream movies via wifi so well I got greedy again. I ordered a SSD for it and it should be here tomorrow. I am going to put OpenElec on it and install Kodi. That should perk things up a bit. My only regret is it doesn't have a HDMI port, just VGA, I didn't care at the time, not realizing what the deal would be.
