2012 : what a travel in time ! well, my second laptop is a an old e525 acer that is more than enough rapid to do 'internet/video/kicad/kicad debuging...' even with 2~3 hours for a full build. Having it unable to run KiCad , very disapointing ;) The other one is not much younger. Don't partitipate to "obsolescence programmée" ("programmed trashing ?") ?
