Howdy folks,
My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ56 dual boot running Windows 7 home premium and Linux Lite 5.8, Intel Celeron processor 2.20 gigahertz single core single thread, 4 gb of ram. I was concerned with the new Linux Lite series 6.0 going to Chrome as a default browser as all of us Windows know it completely slows down an old processor. I downloaded the Linux version of Chrome from the Lite software repository and installed it, updated to the latest version via the synaptics package manager and gave it a test drive. I was pleasantly surprised when looking at the task manager after initial start up @ 100% on the cpu it dropped down to 7% when it came up and I started using it, so if you have an old machine with specs like mine don't be worried as it works well.
