And the old retired buisiness computers usually lot more robust than similar era consumer stuff. 32bit is dying out, both windows and linux. Though last of the single cores are lot faster than the Toughbook, think you would be stupid to not get at minimum of a two core with 4GB RAM. May have other quirks, dont expect miracles or hand holding for $20. This assumes you have some abilities to work on computer, as these tend to not include hard drive for security reasons. I will also mention that unless you are absolutely destitute, you can get a much more modern laptop off ebay for as low as $20 shipped if you are really sharp and patient shopper/bidder, at least under $50 shipped if you arent quite that hardcore of a shopper.
You dont need some mega buck gaming computer and latest mega bloat operating system for that. Sometimes you just need something to do very light browsing and email. A version of Kmeleon from that era kept it usable until the display stopped working. I know long ago I used to have a win95 only laptop (too slow for win98 and video chip not supported by linux or BeOS) long after everybody else had given up on such. Kmeleon has some ability to block ads and scripts, and its small and fast. If you really need to use even older hardware, maybe Slitaz Linux with Midori browser. I dont know if there is any older XP era hardware than this Toughbook, but guessing this is about as old as one can go anymore without it being a complete royal PITA.

Some small linux systems claim to run with 512MB RAM, well they might, but again full modern browser wont. 1.25GB RAM getting pretty marginal anymore. No doubt wont be long until uptodate browsers need too much RAM for this to work. I certainly could live with it day to day for light surfing and email, if I had to. I would say this combination might be good possibilty for somebody stuck with this vintage of hardware. It loaded in 10 seconds and much faster surfing (turn off smooth scrolling and that prediction nonsense in settings).

Tried portable version 58 of Iron Browser (based on Chromium 58 and can use all the Chrome/Chromium extensions).

Yea SSD is LOT FASTER than old clunky hard drives and small SSD not very expensive, especially used, as people buy something with small SSD and upgrade to bigger one…įirefox is a slug on it, took 30 seconds to load and there was a noticable hesitancy while browsing, though it did work. But Xubuntu 16.04 installed to a small SSD (with a $2 mSATA to IDE adapter card) booted quickest in around 20 seconds (newer Lubuntu might work even better?) and ran pretty normal. Xubuntu installed to the ancient IDE hard drive took 45 seconds to a minute to boot and ran kinda choppy. Modern Puppies took very long time to boot up, ran ok, browser choppy. A cantankerous DVDrom drive that is really picky about home burned dvds, didnt help. I am on metered data on cell hotspot so it really costs ME for all this nonsense unless I block it. They want to use your resources and bandwidth to collect your data and sell it for profit.

Both ran nice, neither could support a modern full featured browser and IMHO, its pretty mandatory to be able to use extensions like NO-SCRIPT or Ghostery plus an ad blocker and self deleting cookie app so minimalist browsers not really very practical. It was from the early XP days and I had at some point put a small unofficial n-lited version of XP called TinyXP on it (last SP3 version of full bloated XP too much for it) and some old version of Puppy Linux. Last I used it, think it was pretty much as ebook reader.
Yea, its really a tough old thing, refuses to die though I hadnt regularly used it in some years.
Somebody on another forum mentioning this browser problem for XP. It has a 1.5ghz pentium M single core and its maxxed out at 1.25GB RAM. I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-50 circa 2002.
