Currently my T43 seems really fucked. The new hard drive and new RAM haven't stopped memtest from showing all kinds of errors. Unless there's something else I can think of to save it I believe my T43 may be dead.
My Librebooted X60 may be on it's last legs. I can still run small programs like Pluma and do a bit of homework, but once I run something bigger, like a web browser, it start getting those weird crashes again that force a reboot.
I like my X60 too much to let it run till it dies, but I'm getting behind on my homework. I think I must actually go about buying a new, current and modern laptop. My desktop works well enough, but it's a frankenstien machine of parts from 2000-2002 and using it for homework, during the school year, is a huge pain, when I can't move it around like I can a laptop.
Everything I own is old. I don't have any machines that aren't 32bit. IDK what's out there in the Gnu-Linux space for laptop hardware right. I've heard great things about the Pine64 machines but they are sold out a lot, the Framework laptop has great reviews and the Star Labs laptops also have good things said about them. But I think I'll be looking for something low-end. As long as it is small, has a CD drive and the hardware is linux compatible then I don't really care. Whatever it is, I'll have to buy it soon, exams are coming.
