Its an old Pentium dual core laptop, 2 x 2Ghz that I have lying around. I thought I would try getting Weewx setup on it for a learning experience and if successful use a raspberry pi for long term use. I guess I could try to find an up to date OS lite that will run on it or just buy a raspberry pi. Thanks for your input it is very much appreciated.
