Hyvää ystävänpäivää! Happy friends day!
I'm still under the weather (enough to get another 3 days of sick leave from the doc 🤧), but thinking of dear friends old and new (and hoping none of you are suffering in misery like me 🤪).
While I have a new friend to keep me company, I haven't mustered enough energy to play with them yet... which is so out of character for me coz usually I'd be jumping on such a new friend 😍
Gotta say goodbye to 2 old friends... Let's take some group photos for keepsakes
L-R 3rd, 7th, and 11th gen. We can refresh our laptops every 3 years but I think 4 years is the sweet spot (for me).
I think it was a T30, not 100% sure, but I remember it had an optical drive built in :) Followed by T43, which iirc was the last "IBM" ThinkPad.
I'd love to see your collection sometime! Too bad mine have mostly been laptops assigned for work and I had to return them.
And yes, the old design rocks!
@cybette The T30 is really interesting. The only model with a Pentium 4 in the T series. Great design with the 45 degrees corner in the upper left corner. Hard to get these days. I have three broken ones that I’m trying to convert to one working.
Also really like the 15“ variant of the T43p. Timeless classic. :)
I have a dedicated website for my collection (https://thinkpad-museum.com) but you’re also welcome to see them in action if you’re in Hessen :)
Still need to photograph the 48 devices.
