Ok, besides comparing wrong things (for comedic effect no doubt), what tf is that laptop from ... 1999?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Mac air was start of 2010s iirc

You are right.

Colby WalkMac is from 1986/1987.
First MacAir is from 2008.

So it checks out in that sense.
Phones are old(er) even.
Just BMW is 'newer' (pre-facelift).

Oh, sweet summer child... No.

Im my sweet summers there were basically no commercial laptops.
I was trying to say that that laptop isnt just 25 years old. It just seems odd to even put 25 there, where 40 is used for the other two.

I was going to mention that the laptop looks like a “tough-book” heavy duty type thing. The only reason it seems old is because of the video ports on the side. Military laptops for field use still look similar, admittedly a bit smaller

That thing has two power plugs.
But at least it has a mouse pad.

Its from 1986, (Colby) WalkMac.
