What Can You Do With A $20 Laptop?

Gabe Pérez

21 May, 2017

What to do with an old IBM ThinkPad for $20? In this video Modern Classic talks about fixing up and giving new life to old computer hardware - and yes, games are a big part of that (even on a ThinkPad!).

We also install Linux (Point Linux distro) to see if a modern OS can run on a Pentium III-450.
