$99 through $170... 

I mean WTF, that is going to be a real disappointment to someone as soon as they turn it on.  

Hasn't had security updates for 5 years...

Yep, and cracks me up when they say "refurbished", it's an insult to the term. Think I'll pass thanks

Hey, it could have been much worse! At least they are not running XP! Big Grin

If you're going to resurrect an ancient laptop then XP would be a much better option than Vista.

Still have an old IBM Thinkpad running XP which only gets turned on for a couple of non-Win10 tasks or a little old-school gaming. Solid as rock. Couldn't face myself if Vista was on there!
