How well would a nine year old toshiba laptop be?
I was thinking of buying this old toshiba laptop but it has windows me on it and when I googled windows me it says that it was made in 2000. That puts the computer around nine years of age, maybe earlier, I'm not exactly sure how old it is. But how well would a toshiba laptop nine years of age work? Would it be extremely slow and would it be more prone to getting viruses? I just need some help trying to determine what would be the best option of buying or not buying this laptop.

Well it depends is it brand new? Or did it have a previous owner? If it didn't have a previous owner then it should be fine it would act like a normal computer just a different model. If it did have an owner then it depends on how he/she treated it.

it can't be good. first off, after windows me, windows 2000, xp, vista had been released in turns, you have to understand that new OS were released to adapt major technology innovations and etc. basically i guess the old toshiba prolly has a pentium II or pentium III chip, which is very slow in today's standard. you probably would have many compatibility issues with today's techonology and program firmwares you wanna run on your computer.

I'm not sure what your price range is but I'm currently selling my Toshiba laptop which is about 1.5 years old. It's in great condition and it's only $500.00.

I have an old Pentium III desktop from the year 2000, running Win2000. It works fine for me for what I do. It would probably need a lightened OS using nLite and probably 2000 (XP maybe, depending on RAM size)
