We ACTUALLY use our cheap sub-$100 laptops every day - and we want to share with you actual useful ways you can use your older/cheaper computer.

None of the tired suggestions of "install linux" or "give it to a kid" - we show you ways in which we actually use our machines that are common, easy, and worthwhile!
