[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) What laptop was it so the rest of us can avoid this tomfoolery in the future? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Acer 5742. It's old (and more importantly, free), but with a first gen i5 and 6GB RAM I thought it would still be able to run basic Ubuntu. On the plus side, you could access the drive and RAM through a detachable panel, without needing to pull the whole machine to pieces, or be prevented from upgrading it entirely. Which is another thing that's becoming depressingly rare. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago Acer seems like a bit of a grabbag when it comes to quality. permalink fedilink source parent
