	These laptops are still usable today for very light modern office tasks like text editing, however, they are perfectly suitable for retro tasks, with very limited but present retrogaming capabilities. The Pentium III is not very fast, clocking at 600MHz, while the Celeron at 450MHz is even slower~~, and it~~ is recommended that one replaces the HDD with a SSD.
