I have an old Lenovo X220 i5 chip laptop with a 12 inch screen that cost about £200 three years ago. It was keeping it for the very rare occasion I needed to use windows, but it was so slow as to be almost unusable.

I bumped the RAM from 8Gb to 16GB (£22) , which was very easy to do even for a software person like me. Now it is a very serviceable general laptop.

Have since installed Ubuntu and will be seeing how it works for web development.
