Nice old laptop. I actually don't mind some old things, very classical. As for the OS, definitely don't stick Kali on it. Kali is kind of "heavy", without a better word to describe it, and you will be a bit disappointed with those specs.

@Oni, seems like there's a new Alienware series now. Maybe you could check it out.

There is. But, it's Alienware. Next time I buy a laptop, it will probably be from Origin PC.
