I have a 2008 Medion Akoya MD 96850. I replaced the HDD with an SSD a few years ago and put Linux Mint on it. Before that, it took seven minutes to boot, but now it’s down to 1 minute 30 seconds. The battery is still okay, and you can run LibreOffice and Firefox at the same time (but no more than that, and only if you don’t do more than a duckduckgo search). It served me well for many years, but last year, I got a used Thinkpad T480 because the Medion was getting a bit too heavy to carry around.
