Bought this 2nd hand. Cleaned it, added extra 2gb memory and a £20 video card. I guess it's about 8 years old from manufacture .[also has a Windows XP partition on it for when I'm feeling "patient"
3/ Compaq Mini 110 running Xubuntu - counted as dead by original user - now put to full use as a work documents portable [ with the obligatory add on of essential software... Steam plus low requirement games!]... Sometimes you need that added distraction whilst twiddling thumbs on a customer's site] :D ..don't know how old but I think it's approx 5 years or more. Bought it 2nd hand from a p'd off user who was running windows on it & wondering why everything took so long to load! 4/ Acer Aspire One net book [ZC5] now running Lubuntu - specs? The specs on it are so low it's easier say it has no spec :D -- Bill B.
