What are your thoughts on using the Eee PC 1005PX for basic tasks today? It’s from around 2010 and it’s still working. Though all the Raspberry Pis have better specs… What OS would you install?

Specs:
Intel Atom® N450 1.66 GHz Processor cores: 1 25.6 cm (10.1") 1024 x 600 pixels 5:3 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM 250 GB Ethernet LAN Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) 8.5 h

    The RAM limitation is really the deciding factor. You’ll probably have trouble running Home Assistant, so that’s out. You could probably get some sort of super light desktop running, but it’ll still probably bail after a bit of use. Aside from very small tasks, I don’t think it’s going to be of much use.

      i fear you right. I just really like the design of it. Maybe time for the museum… The RAM is a huge factor, yes. The power-supply worries me the most (heat).
