Colleague at work told me he was going to throw out a Laptop that he'd never used (!!!) so I told him I'd have it for the price of a couple of bottles of wine.
Spec:
Dell Inspiron n5110
i5 2410m
4GB RAM
500GB HDD
Windows 7
1366x768 Resolution 15"
2 x USB 3.0/1 x USB 2.0/1 x USB2/eSATA
Ethernet
VGA port
Lots of weight
It's no slouch in terms of general performance (I thought it would be a poor Celeron or something, not an i5!) I currently have the following planned for it:
Windows 10 Upgrade
4GB extra RAM (~£20)
The HDD looks like a PITA to replace so I probably won't bother doing anything with it.
Can anyone think of anything else I can do with it to bring it closer to a modern laptop? Can screens be changed or anything like that?
