On my wife`s laptop, a Dell Latitude of course, newer a bit, I installed Zorin OS 15 which is even nicer and running very good indeed. One can choose also the Lite version of Zorin OS but I was a bit more optimistic regarding the capabilities of my laptop. Still on this machine Chromium (Chrome) browser give a hard time sometimes but overall all the experience is super.

The interface is clean, I use version 12, very customizabile for basic and important stuff, eg I like the fact you can choose to place the close, maximize and minimize buttons on the left side of the window like it was in Ubuntu in old time, and it seems that in newer version you did not have that choice (maybe I am wrong), indeed the menu is like in WIN XP which for me it was an OS I used a lot. I was looking for more distros of Linux and by chance I came to Zorin OS, as they bragged about the thing it could run on old machines. Of course the update was destroyed and could not start the computer again. One year ago I wanted to upgrade Ubuntu and during upgrading my laptop was not powered and the battery run out. That thing is eating up the resources on every OS, I guess. Which Ubuntu was ok, but still considering the hardware I had was sometimes slow, especially when Chromium browser was open. Neither I was in the moods to install WIN 7 again, therefore I went for Ubuntu 15 or 16. Because I liked the chassis of the laptop very much and did not need extra computing power, selling it and buying a stronger one was not an option. I bought the laptop SH a while ago with WIN 7 installed, which WIN 7 started to slow down the computer. For my needs I never saw the need to buy a new laptop as I use it for email, some office stuff and internet browsing. I own a Dell Latitude E4310, with 4 gb of ram, Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 560 2.67GHz × 4 and about 300 gb hdd, and I live in Romania.

I want to mention from the start that I did not receive any money or other perks from the guys from Zorin, on the contrary I made some small donations to them for providing such a nice OS.
