FWIW, I don't agree just because of the screen but it's still better than anything on the market today.

My nostalgic laptop is the X200/X201. I owned a couple of them and from the pile of parts put together my dream machine with AFFS panel and deleted palmrest i7 with maxed RAM and Thai keyboard. Running OpenBSD.

I owned it and it was my sidekick for years. Took it to four different countries. At some point, I don't know why but I sold that thing for like $75, 7 years ago.

I have another one now, same AFFS panel mod and all, but it was built by someone else so it's not the same.

Sustainable Tech

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.
