It’s hard to beat the X60 for portability, but most of the X60s on eBay have 32-bit CPUs. Is it worth getting one these days for regular use?
After taking a look online, here are a few operating systems that still support 32-bit:
- Debian
- Haiku
- FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD
- CentOS
- Slackware
- Alpine
- Gentoo
Yes, the T60 is socketed, so I did upgrade mine to use the T7600. The X60 is soldered, though. The rare 64-bit X60 laptops do come with the T7200. There are some X60 tablets with a with a weird 64-bit CPU that’s only 1.5 GHz or so.
