I sent my laptop into repair as it has a plan.
While that happens I’m using a bricked NB500 that I fixed by replacing the hdd to ssd and a fresh install of 32bit win10. Didn’t think it would work as its specs are awful (atom processor and 2GB of ddr3) but it runs google mail, sheets, docs, hang outs fine while also running helpscout and database enquiry stuff for cs/logistics stuff. I think my wife originally got the machine for thirty quid and the new ssd was another 15.
I’m not suggesting investing in such an archaic machine or such low specs, merely providing evidence that for the use case you suggest most of your 1k is spent better elsewhere, unless you are simply laundering. What do you really want to do with it?
