I've been using Linux Mint for over ten years now (Linux, itself, for about 13 years). I like reviving old Dell laptops with it (I sometimes end up giving them away to family members). (An Asus netbook probably has better battery life than one of these, though.) The laptop I'm using now is an XPS M1330, originally shipped on September 8th, 2007, which (for me) was significant because I received it on September 8th (this year). You put a cheap SSD in these things and they boot up in about 30 seconds — from pushing the power button to being on the Internet. So they're still very useful.
