The $5 Laptop (Dell Latitude D610)

[@MrVinkho]

Soooo much nostalgia in this video. You've earned a sub \!

[@wuuurmm758]

Dell D series has some interesting features. A 3.5 inch floppy drive that works as an internal drive or a external drive over USB. The D port with pcie is the real gem though.

that password admin issue can sometimes be caused by bad ram

my d630 latitude is a tank

[@therobb5738]

I agree, so is mine.

@@therobb5738 always clean-out the bottom cover from time to time if and when you can.. i do it & also replace the top and bottom cover when it shows wear

@@therobb5738 I have one too. Built like a tank, running Linux Mint just fine.

maybe try puppy linux

Noted, linux can be anything

If you need the updates and patches for Windows XP you can use Legacy Update, even though Legacy Update includes some of the driver updates.

[@AmazedStoner]

The inclusion of the intel video graphics is a real limitation on this machine and you won’t be able to find any modern operating systems for it. Windows XP runs well even when fully updated. There does exist a basic video driver for windows 7 that can be manually added. You won’t get aero but at least mpeg playback will work and get full resolution along with the ability to standby. Of Linux I’ve had a recent version of Debian before but it isn’t exactly what I’d call stable. If your choice becomes Linux you will have a hard time just from the lack of 32 bit support these days. Blink and you’ll miss it because above that pcmcia card slot is a smart card reader. I own this exact model and mine is in perfect working condition. If you’re interested in using windows 7 I can help with that video driver. It wasn’t exactly easy for me to find the last time I needed to find it.

[@RetroBytes265]

Yeah the Intel graphics are horrible but it is great for retro gaming. I have the the d505, d510 and d610

[@RetroBytes265]

Hey man great video. The windows xp that was installed with the psssword error said upgrade edition maybe that's what cause the password error. I have a this laptop and and the latitude D505 and D510. I have subbed also i love your apple mac in the corner

[@shucksandpucks]

this was my first ever laptop!

[@michaelmil1303]

Just go into safe mode under “administrator” and reset the password.

[@Zinedine-Rhythm]

Do windows 10

[@RetroBytes265]

I don't think the cpu has the required instruction set to run windows 10 😢 also the gpu is way too old for the ui interface.

[@charliedo8749]

Most of the laptops computers buy from junkyard, you needed to install from the beginning not to fix the program because mostly people set the password before 😢

[@PM-wg9dd]

I have a similar laptop Acer by brand, still working properly under Win XP, don’t you want to buy it? As I see you love collecting retro things, I can send you photos if you like and tech. info too, if you want

[@paulwarner5395]
