The draw of laptops is easy to understand. I have a cardboard box full of old motherboards and things, but without all the requisite drives and video cards, they are junk. I'm not going to buy a bulky 486 desktop for nostalgia. A laptop is a pretty compact, fully self-contained item; just needs an AC power adapter. Easy to have a box full of them. All of my old laptops still work, especially that 12" aluminum G4 Macbook.
