Old Laptop Plans

I’ve had my current laptop for a while, and I’ve been thinking of a way to give it some new life. I currently have Xubuntu 8.04, which is an ubuntu distribution for low power computers. I am planning on upgrading Xubuntu to 8.10, their latest normal release, and then dual booting with windows 7.

I’m not sure if I will have enough storage space for both xubuntu and windows 7. The laptop is a Toshiba Satelite with a 25GB hard drive. Also, it has a really bad battery. It will go dead if you don’t have it plugged in. I really want to buy a new laptop, perhaps a netbook. The Touch Book and gScreen Corp both look like good laptops.

Do you have an older laptop? What do you do to keep it in top performance? Are you planning on getting a new laptop or computer? What are you thinking about getting? Leave a comment below.

    I think that my new laptop will serve its purposes and be better than yours. You really need to get that battery fixed because I’m tired of you randomly leaving during a chat.

    @sweettea I think I would get a new laptop before I buy a new battery. The size of the hard drive is a real negative for me, so I would rather save and but a new laptop.

    You could buy a replacement battery and a larger hard drive for the laptop, since I am sure it is well out of warranty.
