In an unfinished basement, dozens of laptops sit compactly stored in a small grey plastic IKEA shelf. On top of it is an older late 1990s Compaq laptop sat next to a newer MacBook Pro. On the floor next to the shelf, are several old desktop computers, including an old 486 machine, a silver mid-2000s machine, a Compaq Deskpro EN, IBM NetVista, an IBM Personal Computer from 1998, and a couple other computers obscured by a storage bin on the floor.

I am NOT listing every single laptop here. No. No. No. In an unfinished basement, dozens of laptops sit on the floor, opened up, and screens black. There are 40 laptops. Models vary from the early 1990s to 2020s. At the front are a Lenovo ThinkPad T470s and an M1 MacBook Air. Behind them sit rows of Toshibas, IBMs, eMachines, Compaqs, several Apple laptops, and almost a dozen Dell laptops. Of the most obscure ones are a Bondwell 486, a 1995 Compaq Armada, and a 1995 Toshiba Satellite Pro 400CS. A lime green Apple iBook G3 Clamshell is visible in the background. There is a TV to the right.

Moving stuff around! This is my laptop collection - 40 machines, and it’s the mere tip of the iceberg! #computercollection #computercollecting #oldcomputers #nerdy #retrocomputers #retropc #retrocomputer
