The fact that the screen is pretty dim is because CCFL lights degrade over time, which causes them to be dimmer, and the fact that the Steam installer didn't launch is because Vista blocked it, and you need to right click, properties, and unlock. LGR also made an in-depth video about this laptop.

That sounds very familiar to an Acer laptop I got in 2006 first out kf the box turning it on and first thing it did when getting into windows all the crap started to install and if I remember rightly it took well over an hour to install Don't understand why these companies push all this crap onto new laptops / computers I now if I buy computers I go with a bank system and Install the OS myself at least I know I get a clean machine and only software installed is what I want I got an HP AIO that came pre installed with windows and a hell of a lot of crap from all the HP stuff and various other crap a USB stick with win 10 installer solved that problem

[@baroncalamityplus]

You might want to invest in some games from the GOG store. Virtually all of them have stand alone installers and no DRM. It doesn't make games magically work on vista, 7, 8, or XP but it skips the steam DRM barrier to entry on unsupported versions of Windows.

[@stevenmartell2289]

Exactly what I was thinking the entire video

[@CheapBastard1988]

Definitely! Most of the video seemed to be about how frustrating it is to use modern online software on old Windows versions that are no longer supported. Which is hardly the laptop's fault. The laptop looks great and with Linux it could still do something currently relevant. Especially with an SSD even though the Sata bus will hold it back.

Love your videos! When Vista 1st came out I bought a HP laptop with the Turd, I mean the AMD Turion processor. The laptop ran so hot that I couldn’t touch the top of the keyboard, and sounding like a hairdryer it put out a stream of hot air onto my lap (nice on a winter day though). With no SSD the boot and installations passed like continental drift. I kept that laptop just 6 months and burned by the experience I haven’t used one since!

[@insert_username_here]

"passed like continental drift" that is a great way to describe something being slow and I shall be stealing it.

[@arthurssq]

Well I certainly remembered such experience for my 1st couple laptops. When I was a student, my parents would get me only the basic laptops to save money, so yeah I'm happy if I could play anything. Although speaking of Mass Effect, a buddy even had to help me edit some reg files to set the settings even lower than low else it won't even run lol. Granted I got my own stuff which didn't need to do such things once I started working as a young adult. And I did hv the rotating webcam on my 1st Asus laptop. Its good that you don't need to cover it, just turn it the other way if you don't want others to see you. Ah. Good times. Thx Dawid for the trip down memory lane.

[@bradleypariah]

I would've maxed out the RAM, put in an SSD, installed Kubuntu, then played Half Life 2 and a couple simple ARPGs. I'm sure the thing is capable of low-res gaming, browsing the internet, and sending emails. It would definitely be a conversation piece.

Hi Dawid - I was getting a migraine as I started the video. It cheered me up no end.. I remember when it took over 8 hours to get windows up an running. No sure why you didn't just instal a variety of Linus and run Steam there. I think the takeaway is don't buy an ancient laptop or even accept one for free, just accept it is e-waste or a museum piece. Thanks 😁 Your frustration brought me joy. See you next time

[@colddripgaming]

That’s a horrible take away, “ancient laptops” have a reason to exist and while you personally may see no reason for it to exist it doesn’t mean there is none. Be smart about your purchases and know what you’re getting into might be a better takeaway

[@giserson2]

The steam issue can be worked around by transferring game files from another computer (including the associated appmanifest file), I recently did this with an old XP machine. Another alternative is to dual boot an OS that can run steam like Windows 7 or Linux and then creating a custom library folder on a Windows partition and setting it as a library folder in XP as well and then downloading to it with 7/Linux, this is how I do it on another XP PC.

[@Xehemoth]

I actually bought an Acer laptop that had Vista on it. It was late 2006 if memory serves. During the 1st year, nearly everything on the laptop broke. The power cable receptacle, the headphone jack, serval buttons on the keyboard. This was technically my SECOND Acer laptop because the 1st one had a power interruption during setup and bricked the entire laptop so I had to take it back and get a replacement. The last words that laptop told me was "Starcraft.exe has stopped responding" before I slapped it into the floor and threw it away.

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

It's hilarious to me that they put the ferrari laptop in that shell, because with only a couple of modifications it was identical to their baseline budget line. I had a laptop from them that came stock with Vista, 512MB of RAM and a cute little Celeron with Intel GMA 950 graphics. It was a nightmare to use, but at the very least it was upgradeable. I put (i believe) a core 2 duo in it and maxed out its ram at 4GB, and raided through the entirety of WoW Wrath of the Lich King on it. But seeing the *EXACT SAME SHELL* being used for what I can only assume was meant to be a premium laptop experience was a huge suprise. Plastic everywhere, barely functional heatsinks and fans, fiddly screws and hardware with poor driver support? Amazing.

[@DJSekuHusky]

These old laptops had some serious CPU throttling issues with Vista...the power management for Vista was mostly to blame. One trick I used was to right click power settings and enable maximum performance. I've had programs lock up during install with it set to anything less. Edit: I had the non-Ferrari version of this laptop btw, it was fairly upgradeable for it's time, and was one of the first SSD-powered laptops I ever owned (went from a 250GB 5400RPM to a 128GB SSD). I remember it being a solid little machine after upgrading everything on it.

[@MrComputerGuy64]

Dawid Vista has an odd feature that blocks newer software from working you have to go in to properties of the installer by right clicking and then unblocking the software which will then allow it to run. Odd i know but that is how vista did it

[@imtilda]

If you haven't already, I think it would be wise to rip the recovery discs and upload the ISOs onto archive.org if you can - helping preserve that software for future people who could possibly buy this (without a recovery DVD for original software included) would be really cool

Fun Fact: Acer is the only tech company that is credited by the FiA as an engine supplier to an F1 team. Back in 2000 the Prost F1 team needed a new engine deal after their previous supplier peugeot told them in no uncertain terms "do please fuck off" so they turned to ferrari who agreed to a non-works (giving them year old engines) deal with a minor catch: They were required too rebadge them as "Acer O1A V-10" because there was a co-branding clause in the contract so for the remaining two seasons that prost was in F1 they had to suffer the embarrassment of faking an engine supplier because their actual supplier didn't want the world to know that they were "helping" out.
