I have a Dell Precision M6300 17" laptop.
It is built like a tank.
Unfortunately, the OS is Vista.
I used to do all my programming on it, but I recently purchased a new PC.
I can't decide what to do with the laptop.
I don't really have room for it.
I currently have another M6300 which has a broken LCD running Ubuntu, and I am using an external monitor for it.
Should I give away M6300 #2 and use M6300 #1 to replace it?
M6300 #2 also has Vista license.

Do a little hard-drive swappy-swappy, or otherwise swap parts and repair the one *nix machine... sell the rest of the parts on ebay?

The broken part on the laptop #2 would require replacing the LCD assembly or some part of it.
I don't want to put any money into it.
May be this is the one to give away.
