I currently record podcasts for Hacker Public Radio a daily community podcast. I recently did a show to be released in the RSS feed on 28th April Ep2280 about using the Lenovo X61s Laptop as a cheap second laptop or child's homework PC.
This is an edited version of the show notes from that episode.
Laptop was bought at auction and cost:
- Cost £36 including auction fees
- OS Free (any Linux will work well) finally used Linux lite
- Upgrade to 120Gig SSD £40 of ebay
- New 77wh Battery £16
- Total outlay £92
