What was your first computer?

[DebatED Nothing]

 

The bastard served me moderately for probably at least two years until I accidentally spilled milk on it and it died..

 

Then I got an ASUS K53TA, which killed itself a little over a year ago, just a week after I built my current desktop PC.

That might be the exact model of my first laptop

IBM Thinkpad T42.

IBM Thinkpad T42.

Think so. The little rubber nipple thing was so much better than any trackpad I've ever used. Also that fingerprint scanner which never worked when you wanted to show someone how cool it was (and was entirely pointless for ~8 year old me...)

Fingerprint scanner worked for me, and I didn't use the rubber nipple, never really liked it much.

The first computer that I ever owned was a Lenovo G700. I had been using computers many years before I had this one but they never belonged to me. The first computer I ever used was a Compaq Presario 5000 that I used to play Runescape on.

I also had the T42. I agree completely, the trackpoint was just the best thing I've used. Then I got a new laptop and absolutely hated having to use the trackpad.

I can't remember my first computer as I was very young at that time ( 2-3 years old ) but it was those 1990s computer that looked something like this. My parents didn't buy this as my personal computer but I learnt how to use a computer with it and played some kid's games on it.

[Feetzor]

I think the first computer I actually owned for myself was a medion pc with a q6600 processr and around 2-3GB of ram. Thing had a 1TB Hard drive though and rocked!

Q6600 is a butt kicker still to this day

First computer I owned myself was some kind of Acer with a 400MHz Pentium III, 64MB SD-RAM and LPX form factor motherboard with a riser card that had ISA slots on it.

From memory it also ran Windows ME, and when I upgraded to Windows XP it was too slow to run any games except for Pinball.

[Pitythefool]

Pac Bell computer from like 1996. I'll find a picture and upload it or take a picture of the actual tower which is sitting in a nearby room.

[Nyraion]

First one for me was a Dell Inspiron 530, with Vista 32 bit, some crap single core Intel Celeron, 6gb of DDR2 ram, (yes i know on a 32 bit OS), A 320gb HDD, and an AMD Sapphire HD 5450 2gb.

Still have the machine but my Parents want me to junk it, I will probably just scrap the case though

[Devendra95]

Dell Dimension E521 with 512mb of ram and an 80gb hard drive. Also with a single core AMD athlon 64 processor. Believe it or not, it still works up to this day

[Sunako]

My first of had a Intel 80386SX 33MHz processor 4MB of ram 42 MB hard drive and 17 inches color crt and dot matrix printer with two floppy drives later we got the expansion memory that you had to load in command so you could play some games

Windows 3.1 was fun

Our first brand new PC was built in that case. AMD K6-2 450MHz, 32MB of RAM, on board video and a 5 pin din connector for the keyboard.

 

Heh.

[Charcoal_]

I'm not sure what mine was but it is sat in the garden with the Hard drive ripped out and in the shed, my dad wanted to destroy it... IDK why, theres very little on it.

That's pretty old but whatever, I find old computers just as amazing as new ones

It was the first PC in our home which allowed us to get on the internet. I will never forget going online for the first time at home - truly magical.
