Need idea for how to use a Dell Latitude D400

[Kosheh]

Seems Kosheh had more or less the same idea, though spec-wise, I'm not sure it would be all that good for video playback of anything above 480p.

yeah, given the processor and onboard graphics you're probably not gonna pull above 1024x768 on that thing. the other thing is if it's running XP then yeah it's about as handy as an RPi. i GUESS you could pop a bunch of emulators on it (along with kodi) and plug it into your TV; plug a controller in and enjoy some really old videogames at a mediocre resolution, and maybe lug it around with you on vacation. while you're at it, just install linux distros willy-nilly and see how they run.

but at that point, why not buy an Ouya or an RPi...they'd both probably cost you about the same; more or less equal in elbow grease

if you're stumped though, just wipe the hard drive and donate it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
