CloudReady Chome OS clone on an old laptop WOW!
CloudReady Chome OS clone on an old laptop WOW!
I have an old Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop that I bought in 2009.
The CPU has been upgraded to a Core 2 Duo T9600 from its original Pentium T4200. The Ram is upgraded to 4gb from the original 2gb.
I upgraded the hard disk to a 120gb SSD drive.
The Dell 1545 originally came with Windows Vista with a free upgrade to Windows 7. I recently upgraded to Windows 10. Meh. I thought, why not try Chrome OS on the old laptop. So....
I installed CloudReady Chrome OS clone on this old laptop and ran Octane 2.0.
To my surprise, the Octane rating is 17264 with NeverReady installed. Wow!
For comparison, my Dell Chromebox 3010 Celeron 2955U CPU with 8gb ram and a 32gb SSD drive scores an Octane rating of 12450.
So adding CloudReady to an old laptop looks like a really good option. Better than bloated Windows 10.
