How many people buy Pi to browse the web? The purpose of the project seems to be

1) Find something to do with a Pi

2) Instead of buying a Pi, run Pi infrastructure software on an old laptop instead

If browsing doesn't work on an old laptop (although it does, but for the sake of argument...) then the bug is observed after step #2 but the actual failure location was in step #1, when "I wanna browse the web" somehow led to using a Pi to do it.

Old laptops and pis arent exactly interchangable. There are som significant power, input/output, and form factor differences.
