Just bought a new laptop this week while roaming around VirraMall and also saw a number of really old ones being put on display. It reminded me of my very first laptop and it looked similar to the ones I saw.
I can’t remember the exact model of that laptop but I remember it was a 12-incher Acer notebook powered by a Cyrix 486DX4 processor with 230MB of HDD space and 8MB of EDO RAM (I later upgraded it to 16MB for Php4k+).
It was running on Windows 95 which I installed using 6 or 7 1.44″ floppy disks. I still remember trying to add Window Plus+ but it would hang because of lack of memory (was able to fix using RAM compression software).
Still trying to figure out what model it was (a family friend won it from a Pepsi contest back in 96 or 97 and we offered to swap it for a new TV).
Anyway, can you remember your very first laptop? What was it?
Magnificent goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely great.
I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you are stating and the way in which you say
it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it
smart. I cant wait to read much more from you. This is really a terrific site.
My first Laptop was bought on 2009; an eMachines D725 with Intel Pentium T4300 @ 2.1Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 320Gb HDD and Intel GMA. It still works fine. Now, I’m using Asus K55V with Intel Core i7-3610QM at 2.3Ghz with Turbo Boost up to 3.3Ghz, 8Gb RAM, 750Gb HDD and nVidia GT 610M.
With the whole thing which seems to be building inside this specific subject matter, all your perspectives happen to be somewhat refreshing. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, but I do not subscribe to your whole strategy, all be it radical none the less. It appears to us that your commentary are generally not entirely validated and in fact you are yourself not even entirely certain of your assertion. In any case I did enjoy examining it.
I just stumbled upon your blog after reading your blog posts wanted to say thanks.i highly appreciate the blogger for doing this effort.
I’m still using my first laptop, an old Compaq from 1995.
HP G42-372TX
MSI VR320x
I’m late to the laptop party, so my first laptop is a Gateway P-6860FX that I got in Las Vegas in 2008. I haven’t replaced it yet, so I guess its my first and current laptop.
MACBOOK AIR… when i was in the states for vacation last year and couldn’t decide w/c affordable gadget to bring home
An Acer 4920 as an auxiliary computer for school. I am used to desktops but I resort to the laptop when my sibling uses up all the desktops. Still using it up to now. Only upgraded its RAM after 1.5 years of use.
Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255. Got it second-hand around 2004, been with me ever since. Suffered 2 hard drive failures (one my fault…dropped a book on the drive portion), upgrades and tweaks. It just recently broke down (for good) following the slew of Meralco power outages. Power board finally gave out I guess. Sigh.
mine was ibm issued by my boss. then i bought ECS laptop. yung walang battery ha!
i’ve had 5 laptops changes since then.
A Lenovo IBM X21 – A 12 inch unit which I have battered for 6 years. It has a Pentium 3 (700Mhz) processor, a 128Mb RAM which I later upgraded to 384Mb, a 4Mb Dedicated ATI Video Card, 10Gb of hard disk space which I also upgraded later to 40Gb.
It was actually a gift from the States around the year 2003. Sold it for Php5k last year.
my 1st laptop is the acer aspire 3600 series of 2006. Now on its 4th year and it is still up and running although medyo nawoworn out na. About time to shift to timeline. hehe.
a lenovo y410…the only known issue it got is with the optiarc slot drive..now the drive is not working after a year..tsk tsk

mine’s IBM thinkpad with pentium 3 800mhz processor, 512mb RAM, 40GB HDD and 8MB Video Memory. I always love the Thinkpad, so sleek, compact, strong and reliable. I also love the design of the Point Stick, it has much greater control than the touch pad.
My first was a Samsung Sens P29 laptop bought almost 4 years ago sa tipidpc. It’s a 1.5(1.6?)ghz Celeron. Ayun, last year pinasok ng magnanakaw yung apartment ko, tangay yung laptop, nintendo wii, at popcorn hour a100. Funny thing is this (techy) burglar forgot to take the remote controls of both my wii and pch.
Eniweys after a week I “upgraded” to a 2nd hand MSI core 2 duo laptop. Sana wag na maulit yung last year dahil A110 na yung pch ko and yung pinalit kong wii may katabi nang ps3 tsaka xbox360.
A rubbish NEO Emprivia NPV2
Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz, 1GM memory GMA graphics, 80GB HD
all for 60k!!!
So expensive!
a celeron-powered asus laptop colored white way back 2003. Upgraded 2 years ago to a turion powered hp dv6810 with 3 gigs of ram. Now waiting for a new asus g60jx. sweet!
Mine is ECS A900 running on Transmeta Crusoe way back in 2002. Binili ko ito sa PC Express. P45k pa ito noon, super mahal. Hindi sya laptop kundi desknote kasi yung battery nya nakahiwalay kaya lagi na lang nakasaksak sa kuryente.
Then I bought Acer Travelmate 2420 in 2006. It’s still working up to now. I sold it to my friend. I’m using 13″ macbook white 2.26 ghz core2duo.
compaq presario cq60
msi s250 1.3Ghz celeron

I bought my first laptop way back in 2003 and it was a Compaq X1000 series. It is still alive and kickin. Recently bought a new one, MSI U230.

nalimutan ko exact model.. but it is an Acer laptop.. around 2007 ata.. just when the prices started to drop below 30k.
Mine was msi cr400 core 2 duo. Which was really a bang for buck (I got it for almost 25k lng), but guess what wala pang 1 month skin ng white + flicker na lcd.. i’m hearing good comments pnmn with MSI, kaya pinili ko..ewan ko lng kung minalas lng ako ng unit! Anyway it’s already fixed, but the hassle was unforgettable!!
any tips for those who want to buy their first laptop? :)
Macintosh Powerbook 270c (circa 1993) complete with the Duo Dock set-up.
Compaq armada 4120T with pentium 120 processor, 64 mb of ram, 12″ lcd.

sa kin ibm thinkpad nung 2000 ata bigay ng tatay ko nung college ako, 15″ tas win98 os, 800 mhz procie un lang tanda ko. may cd rom na un pero may floppy pa din.
I never had a laptop before. But when I started to work at home, I was able to buy my very first laptop – Lenovo G450 just three months ago.
after graduation from college, I thought I don’t like to sit all day on a desktop anymore so I decided to buy the cheapest laptop back in 2003. It’s an ECS laptop with Transmeta Crusoe processor. I don’t know if it still works now, I passed it to my sister when the video card stopped working after plugging in to a projector.
My first laptop is the Acer Travelmate 2420 bought by my Dad in the Middle East back in 2006. It was a lifesaver during my college-thesis writing,(mobility in various libraries :D). I am still using it today now that I am in Law school haha :D
My first laptop was a used Apple PowerBook 520. The 500 series, if I’m not mistaken, was the first such laptop that introduced the trackpad.
A variant — which was introduced in Japan and codenamed the Blackbird — was used in the first Mission: Impossible movie.
Macbook.. with snow leopard pre installed.
My very first laptop was the very first batch of macbook on Intel.
mine was a NEO, last 2006. i can’t remember the model but it had a 15.6″ screen, 2gb ddr2 ram, 1.7ghz intel centrino, 160gb hdd. it burned out (literally) after a year maybe because of toooooo much World of Warcraft, and i had to pay 22k for repairs. sold it after repairs and got a desktop instead
a bulky IBM r52. felt like my shoulders will go off anytime when i carry it around.
mine was Compaq Model 2140us running on Windows XP Home edition.. it’s still working until now. It’s more than 7 years now.
nakagamit na ako noon nang laptop, sa kapatid ko, yung Toshiba Satellite notebook na Windows ME, Pentium 3 palang at dial-up ang internet connection, pero may built-in Ethernet port na, kaya lang nasira ang TFT LCD dahil sa moisture pero buo pa rin, ngayon sira na talaga, malamang battery overcharge o sira na ang HDD, 2nd pero sa kapatid ko rin, yung Fujitsu na bili sa Saudi kasi mura ang laptop, naka-Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit kaya lang walang AERO dahil sa Video memory nito, 3rd is yung netbook nang sister ko, puwede nang mag-Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit din dahil sa upgraded specs niya, 4th yung netbook nang kapatid ko, kaya lang LINUX at parang walang kwentang gamitin dahil Linux yan, 5th yung sa erpat ko galing U.S., Thanksgiving sale kasi doon, ACER Emachines yan at Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Mine was Dell Inspiron 2500. I don’t remember the full specs but it has Pentium III and 256 ram inside :)

Due to financial constraints, I had my first laptop just last year and I am still using (and loving) it. Its a Compaq CQ40 310 AU.
My first laptop? It’s the Lenovo Y410 T550, which I bought two years ago. Unfortunately, this is still the laptop I am using now. I wasn’t able to upgrade yet. But it works perfectly fine. ^_^
My first laptop was IBM R-Series 2682 RA5 with Intel Pentium-4, 256MB RAM, 60 GB Hard disk, bluetooth, webcam and card reader.
This laptop is still with me and is working gr8!
mine was just last last year a NEO notebook, tapos now I mostly used this HP Mini pero desktop PC pa rin ang pinaka important sakin :)
our first PC was a refurbished Compaq desktop, pentium 3 pa yun. Nung sikat pa yung Friendster nun :P
Mine was Asus Eee pc 4g..:)
I am currently using Compaq Presario CQ40… I wish to own a Mac lappy… :(
How much was the Acer. Mahal ng laptop five years ago. I’m lucky my secondhand dell still works.
Toshiba Satellite 2.4ghz celeron, 40gb, 512ram, windows xp, 15”
my first laptop was a compaq armada. it has p3 processor, its os was windows 98 and a 30 gb of HD.
until now it is still usable. i installed XP Pro on it.
never bought one for me yet, but chose a Compaq C793 for my mom (worse mistake of mine). A relative of mine handed me his old laptop which I’m currently using
Gateway 4012GZ
Intel Celeron 1.5Ghz
512mb RAM
replaced the encrypted HDD(he forgot the password) with an external Seagate 160gb IDE HDD attached via USB-IDE cable powered by a 350watt atx psu. Installed Linux Mint since XP~Windows7 refuse to be installed on removable media.
As of now using that for torrents, surfing, and watching videos (can watch 480p, 720p videos, anything in excess stutters & fails).
Mine was running on XP already. hehe. Acer Aspire 14″ laptop.
A 12-in Apple iBook G4 with a teeny tiny 40GB hard disk. It’s been through hell and back and now I barely use it, but it’s still as awesome as the day I bought it :-)
“Just bought a new laptop this week while roaming around VirraMall”

Hi, my very first laptop is what I’m using right now. I bought it 3 1/2 years ago and it’s still useful even in gaming. It is an ECS laptop that has Pentium M 1.6ghz, 1gb ram and 128mb dedicated video card.
The only thing that shows it’s age is the backspace button seems harder to use ;)
my first laptop is my MSI EX401 which I bought last year……..the reason that I only have one laptop is that I used to be a DESKTOP PC person, but then things change, hence this laptop…..I still own a desktop PC though….
I’ve been working in the computer since 2000, but I couldn’t afford laptop yet until 2005, my first laptop Sony VAIO Pentium Centrino with 4gigs memory.
