I agree with @LucaScorpion. An old laptop is a prime candidate for some lightweight Linux love. Lubuntu or Xubuntu are good candidates for getting up and running fast.
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this

#1 problem during summer months
I haven't even turned on my old laptop for a year. It's about six years old and becoming sluggish with modern software. Now I want to participate in a workshop for Raspberry Pi that requires you to bring a computer.
I feel like I should get me a new laptop, and knowing myself I'd get something in the upper mid range that gives a good bang for the buck and is slightly more pricey than I originally intended.
But I think it would be a very ridiculous thing to do, because afterwards it would just stand there while I do everything on my stationary computer, tablet and phone.
Maybe I'll throw in some lightweight Linux distro and see how far it takes me.
And feel like I should get me a new laptop.
