I still have every laptop I've owned & I don't know why (fujtisu p1120 (what a badass machine), some msi core2duo (p951 or something), a msi gx66, a dell venue 11 pro, and my current Samsung book 12. Oh and I bought a Sony Vaio P way way after the fact for like $130, as a potential p1120 refresh- neat ass system. Almost two decades of gear. Some very well stickered, the Dell & GX not so much.
I think you're onto something about size. It's a factor. Still, I feel real shame for having not gotten rid of more machines. I have gotten rid of old desktops at least.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoI still miss my 486 sometimes. I rebuilt a 90s gaming machine somewhere in early 2010s. You can guess how often I power it up.
- rektide 4y agoI did get my parents to throw out the Gateway 2000 full tower that had been sitting on the porch. I bought a p166 /w mmx from a paper route. Then eventually put a legendary Abit BP6 in it. Took me at least 18mo to get the second Celeron cpu for it. Served them for a real long time as an eventual hand me down. Alas I had though I'd left them with more memory so it was still like 32mb of ram for a long long time, just feel so bad about that. Sat on the porch & served as a coffee table for a long long while. I did ask them to get rid of it & now it's gone. I did take a photo or seven first.
