 An Old Laptop - movilogo
I have an HP G70 laptop. This is 9-yr old now. It came with 32-bit Windows Vista. The screen hinge broke after 4 years.

I stopped using it and was lying as junk. But then I installed Linux Mint (64-bit) on it and attached an unused TV as display and it is now serving as my desktop replacement (added a £6 keyboard too).

I now use it daily. Runs fast with 3 GB RAM. I also installed Windows 7 on (via Virtual Box) it just to use Microsoft Access. It runs very slow on virtual Windows but majority of time I can work only using Linux and it runs fast (compared with a 9-yr old Windows PC).
