I grabbed a HP3115m we had for this trip to Grandma's House. It's my spouse's & I figured it would be good to cycle the battery a few times, update & tune up Win7, etc.. Didn't realize how long it had been since anyone had used it until I saw the desktop:
(Adafruit + Arduino = Love ...from Limor Fried's site)
It's not a bad netbook style AMD E-300 powered little rig. And everything is accessible from the bottom, which removes completely without tools, like many HP's. I'd even call it "cute", if a bit underpowered. Should be able to extend it's life with a ram boost & small ssd.

I love netbooks. Fair warning, you're gonna want zram or whatever else it may be that compresses /swap/ to within inches of its' life on anything you switch to from Windows. As a Palm fanboy I find my standards ridiculously stringent for shell extensions & the like.
I'll post my Thinkpad's in a minute...

A boatload of Syrian refugees about to land on the Greek island of Lesbos as the sun sets over the Aegean.

I love netbook sized systems, too. That's why my T200 is still my grab-n-go and it's successor will be similar.
This one is going to stay Windows since my spouse uses it more than I do. It now has 8GB, which helps a lot. The HDD is next, it's still stock which means SATA-2...and the odd little internal slot for a tiny, non-std SSD card for ReadyBoost. I figure since 16GB cards for that slot are < $10 USD & I have a few in a junk box, I may swap out the main drive to SSD and use the little one for VM, logs, etc.

I'm surprised the AMD is still serviceable. Makes me curious if it would get any advantages from running 10, perhaps when that finally gets a service pack. A really wired chan I've been hanging out on seems to be full of AMD worshipers, I understand their enthusiasm over the outlier chipsets that set records but can AMDs really be better ULV components?
Anyways here's my ThinkPad's F23 install:
