I got a 5$ Laptop...

[@orangy57]

What a throwback, I played a ton of Team Fortress at 15-20 FPS on one of these Pentium 4 Dell laptops as late as like 2011. Minecraft ran a bit better with Optifine but the single gigabyte of RAM meant it would always crash after about a half hour due to low memory. Seems like a fun novelty nowadays but I don't see the point of putting any more money into it

A cool piece of retro tech! A little more modern but I managed to get two Thinkpad T430s' for 20 CAD recently. One had an i5-3320m and the other an i7-3520m. They were supposedly broken but swapping the ram sticks around got it to stop hanging before turning on.

[@Wartorment]

Lotta good times in high school on this era of laptops, things would run Runescape in browser without skipping a beat if you got one of the nicer P4 ones at the time, and you have the top tier spec. Also, a Radeon 9200 won't be a ton faster than a 7500, since the 9200 is a cut down 8500 (if my memory serves me) with AGP 8x support. Definitely repaste it but those P4's ran hot regardless, so having to use it on a desk is to be expected. If you can find any AGP laptop gpus kicking around these days they should all work assuming the drivers are compatible with XP.

[@omnitone]

love how these were designed. color wasn't a sin :0

[@gamingballsgaming]

yeah, to put desktop performance in a laptop at the time certainly came with its compromises. i have a blue toshiba A75 with a 3.2ghz hyperthreaded Pentium 4 and while it doesnt get too hot, the fans are loud and the whole thing is pretty chunky. its a good portable xp system, but im so glad that laptops can now have good performance, small size and battery life

[@kidman2505]

I had the 3.0ghz prescott version of that notebook. COOKER. You gotta figure the other graphics option was an intel chipset. And anything they would have crammed in from Nvidia at that pricepoint would have been roughly the same in that era.

[@twizz420]

You could try to delid the CPU and replace the thermal paste to make temps better. Some of those old GPU's also have an IHS so you might be able to do the same with that.

Even in the day OEMs like Dell referred to machines like this as “desktop replacement” PC’s, effectively meaning they were meant to be an all-in-one PC that you can move around if you need to. Whilst the graphics adapter is upgradable I only ever found a Geforce 4 Go MX 440 for mine, so if you see an upgrade, grab it.

you can run a ultra-lightweight linux distro meant for old hardware like this and use that as a fileserver or host for something
