In 20160-2017, I did the final year of my CS major using nothing but an IBM Thinkpad X40 (1.1 GHz ULV Pentium 4, 1.25 GB RAM). It was quite adequate. DrRacket, CompuCell, LibreOffice, Gimp, VirtualBox, it all worked fine. Such a lovely machine...

I've also done productive work on my OLPC XO-1s (and an external keyboard, usually my IBM Model M). For example: http://bloominglabs.org/index.php/Logo#Animated_Logo
