How to turn your sluggish old Mac or PC into a faster Chromebook

This startup has created a modified version of Chromium that works with
most hardware, and it's free

 because that name is a trademark reserved for the laptops created by
Google and its hardware partners. A Google representative suggested we call
them Chrome laptops, or Chromium laptops. I'm partial to Chromiumbook
myself. In any case, you'll find that the experience is mostly
indistinguishable from Chrome, and that all the Google apps and services
you expect work without a hitch.

I have been using a six-year-old Dell Latitude laptop running Neverware's
CloudReady software for a few weeks. In Chrome it boots in under 30 seconds
and runs fast enough for me to use it as my only computer at work. In
Windows, well, not so much. As we noted in our feature, an irony of the
cloud computing era is that a lot of older machines discarded as obsolete
actually have far more horsepower, in terms of pure hardware, than the
latest Chromebooks coming to market.

Older machines will probably still have problems Neverware can't fix — my
Lenovo's battery, for example, leaves a lot to be desired — but if you have
some spare hardware lying around that no longer works, Neverware's software
is an interesting and easy way to try and resurrect it as a netbook that
you can get some real value out of.
