Is the x61 usable in 2023 for general media consumption? I'm seeing one on sale for 30 bucks.
Pretty much just Youtube + streaming and some mails. I've already got a T14s from work for anything remotely heavy.
Thanks. Yeah 720p is a hard no for me then.
It really depends. For me, media is pretty much internet radio, for which i use
pyradio. I don't really watch YouTube anymore, and when I really need to, I'll just use my tablet.Other than that, web surfing is okay, mail and office work really good.
