Hello,
I am having some doubts about making something out of an old acer laptop.
The laptop has a low powered intel atom processor (n450) and 1gb of ram.
I wanted to make it as a media center computer dedicated only to films for my tv but since the tv is using HDMI and the laptop VGA i think i can't do it,
So i want to ask you guys out there what should i do out of this laptop, since i don't have what to do with this anymore.
Give me some examples and if you can explain me how to do it,(loosely)

There comes a time in most electronics...where it no longer makes sense to try to use it for anything semi-mainstream.
For this laptop, that point was several years ago.


You could install a minimal Linux distro, and use it for hobby...

Those laptops struggle to even play 720p youtube so basically not worth bothering with.

But an HDTV is out of its reach.
