Daily Usage Today
This laptop is still useable today, but to some extent... It is only useful for Word Documents and can be used as a Media PC. The Pentium M is not known for performance and it is recommended that one replaces the HDD with a fast SSD. Retro games are playable on this device, but keep in mind that barely anything past the 2000's is playable (at a reasonable framerate).
