For me its the old fans and vacuum cleaners. Over 40/years old each and still going strong. Clear labeling inside and have been fixed up multiple times.

I'm still rocking an A22p! It was my first notebook in 2003. People went mad when I brought it to school because of the 1600x1200 screen. I used its S-Video output so the whole class was able to watch movies on an external CRT TV. :D

There's even a docking station with eGPU support - before it was cool!

    That's a very nice machine. How's the screen nowadays? The one on my T60 is extremely dim and yellowed, seems like your's is still pretty good?

    All of those screens have a CCFL, it's basically a miniature version of of those old tube lights. If that one reaches its end of life it gets dim and yellow and needs to be replaced.

    The A22p also accepts the IPS displays from an A31p. I modded mine with one of those, so now I have a Windows 98 notebook with an especially beautiful display. ๐Ÿฅฐ
