What to do with my old w7 laptop?

[mattice]

Hi tom's Hardware community!

I just got my new computer and so I don't use my old one anymore. I would like to make some use out of it. I looked up some things you can do with an old laptop, but I haven't yet find a good thing to do with it. That's why I ask you guys if you have an idea to do with my old laptop. Every idea is welcome!

My old laptop specs:
-Windows 7 Home Premium sp1
-AMD Turion Dual-core Mobile M520 2.3ghz
-4 gb ram
-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 Series
-64 bit system

SETI or Folding at home. Google it. Or you could donate it so someone can have a computer that can't afford one.

I set my 14" Lenovo IdeaPad Y470 right next to my Dell Latitude 3540. I primarily use the Y470 to watch videos when doing things on my Dell.

When I get a new laptop to replace the Y470 (the GT 550m died), I will then wipe it and bring it to a Salvation Army depot with a note warning never install nVidia drivers on it because the malfunctioning GT 550m will cause Windows to BSOD within 30 minutes.

I am going through this right now, I guess I will use it when friends come to investigate something (group projects, investigations, etc.) and when I want to watch something through HDMI in my room's tv. Also for experimenting and doing whatever the duck I want 😛
