Dell 6000 or hello from 2005
I have such a story; for some time, almost any laptop in the role of a typewriter and some multimedia was needed. An interesting and hitherto unprecedented Dell Inspiron 6000 was found on one of the Belarusian Internet flea markets.
This wonderful device cost me 25 US dollars at the rate. For the money I bought:
First of all, I blew the crookedly rolled "seven" and put two other operating systems for the test. These were the familiar XP and Linux Mint. They stayed with me for long. Linux for some reason began to demand the password endlessly, accepted it and demanded again. As for XP SP3, it didn’t allow watching many videos on the Internet and was pretty hard on it.
')
Then I put the build of Windows 7 Thin PC. Of course, there were problems with the drivers, which were written for the "expi", but something became self, and the rest - in compatibility mode. In general, one way or another, “firewood” got under all the devices.
The result was a rather interesting machine with features. You can work with the office, listen to music (but through external speakers, because the built-in order are killed), multimedia is controlled through the buttons on the front panel, even with the lid closed, you can even play (Torchlight is completely playable).
Photoshop CS5 was installed to work with images of the SLR camera. I will not say that it is very comfortable to work in it, but it is enough for my needs.
The video card downloaded from the Internet in a one and a half gigabyte video card in the Daum Player Mini player pulls without brakes.
In general, a successful investment of $ 25.
This wonderful device cost me 25 US dollars at the rate. For the money I bought:
- dull by modern standards (or sat down?) Monitor 1280x800 from Samsung;
- 80GB hard drive from Hitachi 5400 rpm;
- 1.73 GHz processor (mobile Pentium M740);
- as many as 1.5 Giga operatives;
- and a bonus writing only a CD but a whole DVD-rom, dial-up modem, network card, wi-fi, TV out and a whole bunch of everything else, including the order of the built-in built-in stereo system.
