hush404<p>I found this 2011 Toshiba mini-notebook kicking around at work a few years ago. Its got a 10" screen, 1GHZ CPU, 1.5GB ram and ran terribly with included <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/windows7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windows7</span></a>. I flashed it with <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/q4os" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>q4os</span></a> (a <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> based distro) at the time and got it behaving half way decently in no time. Found it again today, gave it an update and toyed with it a bit. A neat little system overall. A bit small for my general use. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mac</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> for scale.

Georgiana Brummell<p>I'm trying to figure out which is the best computer for my needs. I'm caught between three options. I want something very portable that's smaller than my Del Latitude 3120, and even than my Acer Aspire One D270! I would use all of these with an external keyboard. The MeLes can run off a power bank and needs speakers, while the Toughbook has its own battery and speakers. The MeLes have more usb ports, where as the Toughpad would require a usb hub (owned). Some of these come with more ram or storage. I tried to choose similar specifications when possible.
