    I've just given my old laptop from 2010 a cheap makeover more memory, an SSD and a faster CPU. Works great and is way better than spending £/$ on a new one, also saves one more piece of potential ewaste going to landfill. Enjoying the content keep em coming

    I've got an E6400 that I used for a tiny bit after buying a new battery and charger. Then, I bought a new hp and let the Dell sit. I ended up selling the CPU and stealing its SSD to put in the hp. It's clean and complete other than the missing CPU, SSD. I think the RAM is still in it also. If you're interested in buying and want some photos let me know.
    Oh, now I have an extra SSD laying around(128Gb cheapo) and I have 2 brand new CMOS laying around.

    I have a E6410 that is still going. I really like that era of Dell Business machines. Decent keyboards and you can actually repair / upgrade them.

      I have an E5410 as a simpler, less powerful backup to my main laptop.

    I have an e6400 and an e6540 that are both powerhouses! Main problem with the e6400 is the screen seems to be delaminating (ATG model)

    This was my first laptop! Mine just had the i5 with no dedicated graphics. I upgraded it to 8gbs of ram and i put the 1600x900 screen on it.
    I loved that laptop

    The flickering, is a difference in your Laptop screen and camera refresh rates.
    matching or compatible frame rate will for the most part fix the flickering

    The NVS4200M on the other one still gives me PTSD from using a E6520 in 2020, the fact that it was slower than the integrated graphics in some occasions was borderline depresive, and the 512mb of vram... it makes me coil up in fear
    My E6520 was also REALLY beat up, cracked plastic, no rubber feet, bent frame, very barely working usb ports and ran 100ºC on both CPU and GPU like nothing was happening to it.
    The 97Wh battery i got with my E6520 ended up dying after i put it on a E6540 with a much better GPU.
    these laptops are cool until you try to daily drive it as a bored teenager alone in their room trying to play anything at all, even 2D games struggled.

    These are okay, but Sandy Bridge is slowly but surely seeing the end of its relevance. You make a massive jump even from going from Sandy/Ivy Bridge to Haswell in the modern technologies you gain.

    I have Laptop which using TN Panel, and it doesn't make flicker if it recorded on Camera (although is LED Backlit)
    Maybe it use older gen LED Backlit, the reason it make flicker effect. Or this is typical Older TN Panel

      Or just maybe the refresh rate and camera shutter speed are different. It's not a big deal.

    I would get a replacement top for that laptop and stick in a cheap SSD and then load Linux. Be a nice decent Linux machine.

    You might want to get that thing up off the carpet before you start worrying too much about temperatures.
