If yes, you can either create binary packages on this machine and only install them on your laptop, or use distcc for moving the big compilation tasks to this other machine. Using binary packages, I can still use a Lenovo SL510, which seems to have similar properties regarding CPU and RAM than the X200, with all desktop programs, including full KDE/plasma, Firefox, libreoffice, etc. Alex
