ThinkPad T43, which is probably over twenty years old. Web browsing is so slow that I won't use this laptop for anything other than reading forums. It sits on the coffee table next to the sofa and I'm using it now for this post.

HP Mini 1.6Ghz, 1GB RAM, 150GB HD, MX18.3, no battery; slow as molasses on web. Perfect for bedtime reading.

AV Linux MX-21 Edition on a Samsung RV520, built in August 2011. 4x 2,3 GHz, 6 GB Ram.
Performance is great compared to the also installed Windows 10 21H2 .

Love to hear that!

2005 Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop here maxxed out at 2Gb of RAM, At the time I paid big money for the 1920x1200 display but I've never regretted it... One of the first core-Duos but sadly only 32bit.. Currently happily running MX-21 with Enlightenment D.E.

I have an old SFF (small form factor) machine I built over 11 years ago.

I was running MX 18.3 until recently. It had my usual configuration, AMD CPU (a Athlon 615e 45Watts, four cores @ 2.5 GHz), Asus board, SSD (60 Gig back in the day), and upgraded to 8G RAM. Probably the computing power of a lot of phones these days.

Was totally functional for browser based-banking and finance stuff to segregate for security (No e-mail or casual browsing).
I was going to upgrade it a few months ago, but working in the small case is such a hassle. So, I updated it to MX 21. Still works great, now serving as a back-up machine.

Pays to buy good hardware. It also as a 1TB WD green drive. These drives had a 1 year warranty, but still works. Admittedly the system has a lot of time suspended to RAM.

Thanks to Openbox' ability to hide titlebars, Ardour fits perfectly on the 1366x768 screen.

Panasonic CF-29 w/touchscreen from about 2006. Use daily for web search, browsing, document creation, video watching (doesn't like 1080p but 720p is good), navigation, whatever, etc, etc.

Kernel is patched to allow use of both PCMCIA ports.

Also have an ssd with MX21.1 that runs almost as quick as 19.4

Currently, a Gateway ec1803h (Circa 2009), which I've upgraded to 4 GB RAM. Slow, but everything works, if a bit slowly.
