@SvenDowideit Ah yeah! This #x62 wholly works. I've mulled on updating the display from the 1024x768 original... but it's endearing. I got a battery that gets 7-8hrs. I take this one everywhere.
I've thought about the the x2100. Sounds like Jacky at #51nb #lcdfans has more in stock currently ;-)

Travelled this week to #kubecon with my #x61 (#x62) #thinkpad Frankenstein.
I've done other small trips, but this was a lot more situations.
This is my favorite machine. It is such a comfortable piece of trash. Parts of this machine are 15yrs old, but then cobbled together from various broken machines. Then in the past couple years, I got the drop-in modded board from #lcdfans #51nb out of China. Now a 32Gb with nvme drives, it is a total sleeper. Luckily found a decent battery. avg 7-8hrs.

I have enjoyed my time with the x62, but it's time for an x395.

I have an extra 3rd gen i5 x62 and this 4th gen i7 x62 board, plus two original AFFS 4:3 screens -- but only one x61 housing!

anyway, if you are interested, I am EU based and looking to get them out of my apartment.

Thinking of buying myself a new laptop, I dont have many prereqs, but I'd like to be able to run #openbsd on it.

I've been looking at #thinkpad I like the idea of a 4:3 screen and the trackpoint, but I'd like to have modern innards. The best thing I've found yet is the T70 by #51nb but it seems like it might require a substantial amount of work to get it working.

Anybody have suggestions?
