$500 might be a stretch, It weren’t for the horrible keyboard, and horrible screen, it might be worth putting a raspberry pi into as a sleeper project.
Yes I realize it’s a joke.
More importantly, can it run doom?
You joke but it would be an awesome project. Maybe replace the screen with a real LCD, shove an rpi inside etc.
Be sure to wear your hacking goggles while flying through hyperspace, wouldn’t wanna catch any bugs in your eyes at such fast speeds.
Oh, I’m not moving. I just always have wind in my hair. 😎😎😎😎
I don’t know. You should make sure it doesn’t have a Realtek Wi-Fi card. Otherwise, it looks fine. I found the Linux Hardware report for it here: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7144bb41
I think the price to performance doesn’t look the best, though. Maybe go for a Thinkpad instead?

Terry would be so proud. And racist and scared. But also proud.
I bet my left nut it runs NetBSD flawlessly.
What am I going to do with your left nut?
First, I’ll use a pair of rusty sizors to extract them, then I slice it into thin strips and fry with a little olive oil and garlic
I recommend with a grain of salt
I’m in tears, I’ve finally found the version of this toy I had as a kid.

yeah its very possible, Take a blow torch and arch linux iso (you need wizard to take it out of your pc you can find the wizard hiding in your tor browser he built a house inside of the tor browser.) then take a blowtorch and burn the iso into the pc front now it should be running arch btw.
I you’re going to hack one, this one is much cooler

Wwwwow. Yeah that is cooler. Is that just a repurposed oscilloscope?
