Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 13•8 months agoI still have my HP Mini311, it has a 11.6" screen, 1366x768, discrete GPU, can decode 1080p in hardware and output on tv via HDMI. In 2009 it was a beast!
I changed the 2.4bg with a 2.4/5n wifi, upgraded to 3GB of ddr3 ram, SSD, overclocked to 2GHz, and installed MX Linux on it, works perfect.

aperson ( @aperson@beehaw.org ) English3•8 months agoI still have my white 701 that I put a black keyboard on and soldered in a Bluetooth module. Some of the most fun I’ve had using a computer and I wish the form factor was still a thing.
fl42v ( @fl42v@lemmy.ml ) 2•8 months agoYeah, I have 701 (?) 2g surf somewhere. It was kinda fun to do programming in vim in tty, and waaay less fun to compile stuff…
marcell mars ( @marcell@lemmy.ml ) 2•8 months agoit is not fair to write this kind of history and not to mention one laptop per child.
wolf ( @wolf@lemmy.zip ) English1•8 months agoHad a 100X, back then with 2GB RAM. Worked OOTB with Linux w/o trouble, all hardware supported. Good times. Later, starting your browser maxed out the RAM so not a viable option anymore.
Nowadays I can happily recommend a HP Stream 11". Works perfectly with Fedora 39, good battery life. (Obviously you don’t want to use such a machine for more than casual work/internet surfing. But as a cheap/solid travel netbook, it is perfect. Typing this message on it.)
