Those T series Thinkpads are great, I was using a T61 until I got a T540
(which is awesome with an SSD), after using the Thinkpads I got a 2nd
hand ThinkStation S20. I even got my Mum a ThinkCentre.

So I'll throw up the question. Is as you said, "the Beagle board is grossly
underpowered", or has LinuxCNC/MachineKit suffered now the same Code Bloat that
Microsoft Windows and Apple have, making the need for bigger processors with more memory
mandatory?
I do my daily work on a T61 from 2005. It boots devuan in < 15 seconds from power on to
TDE. My mill is run by a T60 with Libreboot + TDE. I have a testsystem on a OnangePi Nano
LTS. It works, just axis (opengl) is a bit laggy - the simpler GUIs work just fine. So for
me LinuxCNC never has been the problem. The problem is GUIs and "modernisation".
If you stay away from anything GNOME and systemd, you are fine - and probably will be for
the years to come.
