The laptop is barely competent but still could be used. It is a 64 bit dual core processor and can run 4 or 8 gigs DDR2 memory. This model series was actually one of the best products HP/Compaq ever made but now obsolete.
I looked on eBay and a motherboard is about $55 and there are lots of them available to be shipped from China.
Of course if you buy a motherboard it has to be installed and unless you can do it yourself the labor cost will make this not worth doing.
For $79 (or less-make offer) you can get one with no AC adapter or hard drive and swap yours over and have a working laptop:
No problem for you just swapping over a hard drive and maybe some memory.
