Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas... And I got AN EPIK GIFT



**ITS STILL GOT THE OLD WINDOWS LOGO ON THE WINDOWS KEY**


Cool case for it!! DELL logo still there

From what I heard, It Still should work perfectly fine, as it never broke down until her retirement. She had it as a work Laptop so I'm guessing there will be some windows NT on there. The condition is just about perfect!

so #retro............
jokes aside this is really cool!! i never knew laptops existed all the way back then lol i thought they started around windows xp or windows vista

WOW bro it looks AWESOME
Also the old design of the intel sticker adds to the style as well, i don't think I've ever seen that design.

And btw you've gotta let us see it turned on

I'll reply with a pic when I get back home, It runs mandriva linux and has quite a lot of stuff, games, Firefox, Opera, Lots of stuff.

I know that the last time it was turned on was around October 2012, I'm not home right now but I have one pic of it on



I'll make a video about it and send it here once I'm back home! (A few hours)

The UI looks so gorgeous jeez it gives off such a vibe
Also seeing the start button on the right feels so off xd

I recognize that laptop. It started manufacture in 2002. Some details about it in case you need more info for maintenance.

Edit: Having Mandriva on it would make sense. It still existed back then. OpenMandriva is its successor, but I have no idea when that change happened.
