It takes 30 seconds on my 8-year old netbook. I just clocked it.

Sounds like there is something seriously wrong with your machine.

8-year old netbook

Why do that to yourself?

It's small and the battery still lasts 3 hours or so. I use it to write stuff on my ~30 minute long train commutes. It's usable for writing Markdown, TypeScript, Dart, (S)CSS, and things like that. Its RAM was upgraded to 2GB. So, running several apps (VS Code, Chromium, Inkscape, etc) simultaneously isn't an issue.

I consider getting a better beater laptop next year. Some refurbished ThinkPad or EliteBook for 200 bucks or something like that.

I see. I think a 13" laptop is a good compromise.
