I remember deploying to Iraq in 2009 with one of those Eee Pc's and funny enough I used it for playing retro games and browsing the web and it help up just fine for that. One advantage of the low performance ironically was the battery life was actually surprisingly pretty damn good lol.
Cat bro i am from india i love to see your videos because it will reduce the e waste and provide deaktop laptop to every single area where it is not provide roght now . I am rebuilded my core 2 duo a deaktop and i had run 11 but it lags so i used 10 is runs smooth ❤
Good to see these laptops brought back to life! I knew about netbooks and that the Eee PC wouldn't run very well, and I know you've done a video before on the Dell (where you took 2 broken Dell's and made 1 working one). Surprised you went with Windows 7 on the Asus Eee, I thought XP would have ran better but 7 is more usable. Just proves that you don't need the latest and greatest to get the job done if you just need the basics.
Hi Andrew, it's a good time when you uploaded this video. I've been spending some of my times rebuilding my Dell Inspiron N4030 (the same generation laptop as in your videos). My pleasure to watch thia video and never skipped the ads. Thanks, Andrew!
Thank you broo :) I'm using just a normal one, the static can be a big problem to computers, but I never had any case or I never knew someone personally that had case with that, It's veeeeery rare but it may happen
I recently found a Toshiba Satellite A505, with Win Vista 😴 zzzzz... With a Centrino CPU. It still runs good, screen is crisp, nice layout! These older laptops can sometimes be upgraded! Not sure if the CPU can be upgraded. 🤓
Hi bro, drivers are easy to install, many of the drivers are still available, but those that are not I search with hardware ids number from device manager
great content i watched some vids of yours a few years back i think it was either the diy imac or diy mac desktop made form a trashed macbook pro i only rediscovered you because of yt recommendations you have been making great content for years and i can say from experience that a first gen i3 laptop is way better than a 2016 hp 250 g3 celeron n2840 version the damn thing can't even play 720p youtube in Firefox maybe if i trew linux on it it might but i need to use some apps that only work on Windows and i am getting another laptop later this month and then I'll put linux on the hp
Now, the performance of Intel 1st generation or lower laptops is so low that recycling has become meaningless. Also, your Atom or Celeron CPU will not perform as well as expected. Pay a little more and buy a 4th generation or higher laptop.
Great video! I have a question. You always mix alcohol with antistatic glass cleaner. I heard that you should not put alcohol on screens. Is it safe because you mix it with antistatic glass cleaner?
Hi Andrew! Greetings from Argentina!. Your videos are amazing. Can you say the name of the game you play at the end? I tried to find it on steam but i think i am writing the name wrong
I own a Dell N5050 which is around 10 years old. But it wasn't as good as the one in the video. Many plastic parts are broken without any physical effects, like nearly out-of-date. I don't know how to keep it as long as possible.
Hi bro, the plastics on these models can be easily repaired with super glue or epoxy glue, even there is enough space to add some reinforcement using other plastics from the inside.
Me too. It has an Intel i5 2450m and 6GB of RAM. I want to upgrade to a SSD but one screw that keeps the HDD in place is stripped 😢. It came with Windows 7 and I have installed Linux, particularly Ubuntu, as a more lightweight, modern and still supported operating system.
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Hi, nice video as always Have you tried the backing soda and superglue trick to try and repair cracked plastic ?? I love keeping PC's as long as possible and my collection is from Pentium 100 to Ryzen 5 I prefer to use the OEM software, but some times i just use linux mint if i want it as a spare youtube machine The only issue, while i have a ryzen 5 for gaming, my daily driver is a Lenovo core2duo i purchased new - ( 12GB ram G3220cpu ) most times from a cold reboot, it will spend 2 to 10 mins with the hdd maxed out with defender or windows updates or updating indexing - it is very annoying and hdd will be pegged at 100% - there is nothing wrong with the machine or the OS, i believe it is just this machine or a dual core seems to devote a lot of resources to trivial things ( haha when you only have 2 cores they get used up fast ) But in normal usage cpu idles at 2 to 5 % and 4 browser tabs on youtube = 15% cpu usage so it is fine. My Pentium 1 dos & win 3.11 , P200 dos and win 98, Pentium M and Pentium C all dual boot dos 6.22 and XP. My Jack of all trades is a toshiba Satelite with usb and com port so it is used as a "translation machine" like the P200 but they all have network cards anyway Years ago ( y2k era ) i inherited thrown away 386/486 / Pentium 1's and they were turned into Mame machines and handed out as freebees Regards George
@@StratosGamesOFFICIAL Hi, for core2duo and first run I3/5/7 - i just go straight to Linux mint if i want to use it as a daily driver. For the SSD issue i get away with using double sided tape or a small strip velcro about the size of your thumb, SSD is light so it does not require much to hold it secure
No, hdd cannot be repaired if it's too damaged. I worked data recovery once and hdd can be kind of "repaired". If the bottom electronic is dead than can be change just to pull the data off or if the reading needle together with electronics is dead than the disk with data from the inside is moved to another ( all must be the same as the old one ) and the data is pulled, or there are other devices that can do that. All of this is just to pull up the data and then put to a new disk. But I'm not skilled enough to repair some hdd I mean classic repair
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew yeah, I learned about the bottom electronic. I thought I was clever by switching another bottom component from the same hardrive. But the firmware was not the same. Haha
Yo, how are you getting windows installed on that? Especially Windows 11 or time I try to do that with this old computer and I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it does not want to do it. It's saying I need a download to files to access something. And then it's like already did die. I don't know what is called blah. Blah blah and the blood blah blah, give up. I'm just trying to use my computer for just a modern tools. What are you using my? I got neighborhood. You know, i've got some kv's on there probably a lot marman's good stuff talking stuff
Installing windows 10 or 11 is possible to some older computers, the 10 is more compatible than 11. The Windows is available to download from Microsoft website for free using media creation tool. Installing windows 10 or 11 on some computers may request some changes in BIOS menu, mostly under a disk, like IDE to AHCI or something similar, but in many cases you don't need any changes
It depends, but the CPUs and the RAM I'm getting for a cheap. I know some guys that are collecting e-waste, sometimes they give me some stuff and In return I do some repairs or maintain their computers :D or just for a coffee. When I do upgrades to someone's computers, I just give these parts
I love your videos & have been watching for years. I've got so many computers right now just waiting for restoration 😂 Thank you for the inspiration all these years, Andrew ❤
Hello Mr. Andrew, i wanna ask something. Actually how long you reassemble 1 laptop until finish? i'm interested with you've done. Good job Mr. Andrew 😤😤🤝
Hi bro, because I record the process, sometimes I need about 2-3 days to finish the whole process. But if I do not record then couple of hours or in one day, it depends what I'm working on
Ngl i couldn't find much use for my older pentium laptops. I installed antix os on it, and while it did decrease the load tremendously while on hdd, it just couldn't run yt smoothly even with the least load.

Hi bro, check the BIOS menu, some laptops have option to turn off or turn on some features in pre-boot menu. Also you can try to reinstall the Windows, just to be sure is the problem coming from the windows or not. But maybe is some small hardware problem, like with BIOS or something small
God job again 👍 i know Windows is most used Os but is not the best. I think in old machines a linux distribution woulf expand the capabilities. Recrntly i have tested Loc Os and the result is amazing. The point is that some people use a computer exclusively for work and not for gaming.

I have a seashell 1201PN and I still use it for emulation and old PC gaming (2000/2005 like Battlefield, Cold Fear or 2d games).
This is the better model with NVidia graphics and better CPU
Great video as always. Those older little laptops are also great as mp3/spotify jukeboxes connected to a stereo.

Now, the performance of Intel 1st generation or lower laptops is so low that recycling has become meaningless. Also, your Atom or Celeron CPU will not perform as well as expected. Pay a little more and buy a 4th generation or higher laptop.
