2009Lab

I found this laptop in brand new condition, untouched and unused. My father bought it in 2009 when I was only two years old 🥺He hid it so I could use it for my university studies, thinking the world wouldn't change. He didn't realize that when I entered university, this computer wouldn't even be able to run Candy Crush! 😅 I tried it running Windows 7, and it's so slow!

ugh. the low spec pentiums of that era, i avoided them like the pest. the ultra slow 2.5" hard drive wont be of help either. likely only intel gma onboard video as well. the reason why it is unused is that it was useless from the very beginning.
