i can't decide which one i like best they're both so good https://computerfairi.es/media/B4BrXBt1dPcbMtswDYc
@squirrel I have a couple of X6* thinkpads as well and I looooove the keyboards on them but..... the toshiba sounds even better
@tom its very chunky
sadly the rest of the laptop feels flimsier than the thinkpad
also its very heavy
it has an internal psu !!! you don't use a brick you just, ,,,,, literally plug a power cord right onto the back
@squirrel okay but the internal psu thing is weird enough to make it a device worth having again tbh
@tom it's super worth having even despite that
its got opl3 so its a perfect adlib tracker machine
@squirrel oh that's sick! I'm still on the lookout for a good DOS/Early Windows-Era (Sub)notebook that won't cost me an arm and a leg...
@tom toshiba satellites might just be that!! idk how availability is for you there on them
this one i got for free as a birthday gift from a friend who knew im into old computers
@tom awww
also make sure to get a tft model instead of tn model
tn panels are blurry as hell
the 420cdt (my model) has tft, it's much better
@squirrel one of the coolest old computer things I've stumbled upon so far (besides that osborne 1 which I'm still beating myself up over not getting) is this:
@squirrel the price tho? No.
@tom haha yeah nah its not worth that much, not in that state
@squirrel I like putting things like that on my watchlist tho bc people usually realize that what they're asking for is just fucked up lol
@tom thats a good strategy !!! i didn''t think about that
@squirrel it often ends up in expired listings and broken hearts but i can still dream
@tom it needed some tlc
it had 2 leaked internal batteries (cmos, not sure what the second one was for) and the hard drive was seized
ripped the batteries out (still works just doesn't save bios) and replaced the hdd with a cf card and it works wonderfully
@squirrel yeah that's honestly what I'd expect from a computer that old
@squirrel I've seen a couple floating around on local auction sites, yeah! I almost caved in once but the seller vanished
