    i have an ibm x40 from '03. upgraded the PATA HDD to an SSD, tricked the BIOS to not throw a fit after i installed a 2010s wifi card. it’s okay for ssh, tmux, and watching 360p. a fun lil guy.

    don’t open a web browser tho

      or, more accurately,

      Laptops in 2023: If you want ports, use a USB hub.

      Laptops in 2000: Here’s multiple USB ports, VGA, Mini Displayport, a fucking smartcard reader, SD card reader, ethernet port and docking port

      Edit: just as an FYI this is referring to the T450 (which is the one i have), also added docking port because those count.
