my ex tasked me with: I NEED A LAPTOP

and i was like you want reliable or cheap or GIVE ME A LAPTOP, HERE IS MONEY YOU DUMB BOY

so I was into them Thinkpads before then and after then,

got cheaper from ignoring the clamoring of lovers,

but there was a period where you could just grab several pallets load of what the fuck laptops for super cheap

edit to add, not to be like me arguing with my ex:

they are all good laptops. good internals. Northbridge? excellent scoring potential.
