Question What to do with screenless intel n4020 laptop

[hanitakashi]

I recently picked up this lenovo with a dead screen from the dumpster. it worked right away over hdmi. though the laptop has an intel n4020 and only 4 gigs of soldered on ram so i cant upgrade this. i dont know what to do with this thing since i have a working laptop and pc anyway. any recommendations are welcome

Attach a 4 bay USB hard drive pod.
Use it as a house file server.

Or, put it back in the dumpster.

if you've ever wanted to play around with Linux, here's your machine. home file server is a practical idea.
