I have an old Logitech Z-2300 computer speaker that I would really like to use. It's been sitting in its box for years.
What I figure I need is a cheapo used laptop to run the speaker. I don't need the laptop to connect to the internet, print, draw pictures, play a game, phone home, text me via WiFi, upload or download... nothing but play audio CDs through my computer speaker via a Line-Out. That's all.
BUT, I'm having a hard time figuring out which old laptops came with BOTH a line-out (not just a headphone jack) AND a CD drive. It could be CD, CD/DVD, BluRay, RW, whatever.

So, here I am, hat in hand, asking the experts. What old laptop that I might find on eBay came with both a Line-Out and an "optical drive" (I guess you call it)?

THANK YOU

Of course, not a problem.
I actually have one of those as a backup laptop..
I threw Linux on there and it runs most of the time fairly well..
Well, as good as it can run, with all things considered.
