From "Trash" to 323 Mbps: Giving my 16-year-old Acer Aspire a second life! I wanted to share a quick success story for anyone holding onto old hardware. I have an Acer Aspire 5740 from 2010. Under Windows, this machine was barely usable: slow, laggy, and the internet connection was terrible. The Upgrade: OS: Out with Windows, in with Zorin OS 18.1 (Linux). The laptop instantly felt 10 years younger. Network Fix: Since the internal Wi-Fi card was outdated, I plugged in a TP-Link UE300 USB 3.0 to Gigabit adapter. The amazing result (see photo):Even though this laptop only has USB 2.0 ports, I’m now hitting speeds of 323.41 Mbps download and 287.07 Mbps upload on my fiber connection (tested via the Ookla CLI app to the Delta server in Rotterdam). The Idle Latency is a staggering 4.89 ms! It just goes to show: don't throw away your old laptop! With Linux and a small hardware investment, you can have a machine that browses faster and more reliably than many modern laptops on Wi-Fi. :) @Acer #Linux #ZorinOS #Acer #Speedtest #Sustainability #TechUpgrade #RetroTech #TPLink @ZorinOS @Speedtest @TPLink #Fiber
