I used ReiserFS v3 for a long time. Tried 4 for a while. But that's all been over 10 years ago. Thought btrfs is to be all the things originally planned for Reiser4, plus more so that there's no longer any reason to use Reiser at all.
If it's an old laptop, just leave it alone. I still have my first nettop computer that came with Windows 98. It still works, but it is so slow and limited on memory it is useless for newer software. Chuck the old one into storage, buy a new, more powerful laptop and pave that one over instead.
