This was a laptop that was on special at Walmart for under $200. That
is the only reason I picket it.
Interesting you bring up the Raspberry Pi with less resources. I wonder
what the cost would come to for the Raspberry Pi once you add in power,
an SSD, Keyboard, mouse, and a small monitor. I really like the
Raspberry Pi.
The CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Extreme Kit - Aluminum Edition (8GB RAM) is
$189 and runs a Broadcom BCM2711 CPU that looks to be very inferior to
the CPU in the laptop.

I take it you do not believe something like Xfce would run on this
laptop?
