Would never pay 4800 for that fuck that

Fuck that my shitty 2020 Mac back is cheaper than that

Can we please talk about why in the flying fucks 2gbs of ram would've costed 1800 bucks back in 04????

3:01 _"...86min of battery life is amusingly awful..."_ Me with no integrated graphics in my laptop 👀

My first job when I left school in '01 was holiday temping for a major UK electronics retailer; the specs of some of the "I'll never own one of _those"_ items are hilarious..

Skullz

6:42 doop de doop de doop comic sans farts LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how big the laptop is. The screen is huge which I love

I used to play Half-Life 2 and Gmod on this laptop. Good times!

lulz money

whats the LCD CRT button for

3:27 Making this just about the most awesome laptop battery ever made. ... except for the fact that it had a tendency to overheat and cause fires... eh... whatever * brings out a fire extinguisher! 🤣🤣🤣

Chungus Big chungus

No Medal of Honor allied assault ?!?

I like big hulking desktop replacement laptops. I adore my Predator Helios 500 for its Ryzen 7 2700 and Vega 56, both desktop components that you can fully customize, in a laptop.

my company had the same computer ..extremely powerful in day ....Its amazing to think that my phone probably had more power now days lol

I had a Dell Inspiron 500m from the same era which Clint would have loved: £20 extra bought me the Burlwood snap cover. Mock burled walnut, like the dashboard of a Jaguar.

Is anyone can help me ?I got this laptop at home, unfortunately not working. I want retrieve a date from the hard drive. There is Hitachi 80 GB hard drive 2,5” What usb / data cable( pocket) I have to use to do it ? If someone could sent me eBay link .etc much appreciate.

That power brick is actually larger than some windows sub note book things you've done videos on. Says it all really

Can it play Halo 2 Vista?

Its hard to think that in 2008 my brother bought an extreme i7 3.33ghz with 8gb of 1333 DDR3 RAM and two GTX 285m graphics cards. Was still a dell in a fancy case. But it holds 2 Graphics cards in SLI....... It now has 16gb of ram, Usb 3.0 in the 200MB/s ExpressCard 54mm slot & x2 2gb GTX 765m's running in SLI with a SSD running in SATA 2 at 384 MB/s So it runs win 10 well and I see no reason to upgrade to anything other than the 18 version that runs 32gb ram, 2 GPUs & a 4ghz i7 with a1600 mhz FSB and sata 3.

2:51 Alienware owners be like YOU GET 1.5 HOURS OF BATTERY?! I get 40 minutes from the factory in battery saving mode. 25 in performance. Its about enough power to move the laptop from one side of a lan party to another while other people are logging in and plugging up.

But back in 2004, this was a butter smooth experience.

lulz money screensaver FTW!!!

That thing blows away my 2007 Acer Aspire!

I'd install a linux distro on it and use it today :P that's if I could make the gpu drivers run on something modern.

Prescott was quite literally hot garbage.

too bad that modularity didnt catch on.

my 14 year old self in 2004 is drooling all over this sucker!!

The MR9700 Pro was more like a desktop 9500. Only had 4 pixel pipes and 2 vertex shaders The MR9800 Pro was more like the real deal.

105W on a laptop, oh wow

searching on google and found they reused the XPS 9100 model name for a somewhat later windows 7 based desptop.

I absolutely love the fact that the blue plastic highlight around the keyboard matches the task bar in windows xp!!!!

I Sold a kidney back then to get the Radeon 9800 upgrade. Totally worth it 😄 might have given me scoliosis taking it from LAN party to LAN party. Good times.

Pretty sure I had to fix one of these for a friend who was getting severe thermal throttling, by sandwiching some folded aluminum foil between the CPU and heatsink assembly. Not enough clamping force on the heatsink caused these to overheat when the TIM gradually dried out over time due to the design flaw.

winamp!!!

wow my dad had this no wonder it was so thicc he used it as a desktop at work for 6 years and then as home computer thereafter (always plugged in) i remember replacing the inverter for the display when it died

“I love ports” ok guess that’s why we don’t see apple products on this channel

man i miss windows xp. i also liked 98 those where the first 2 ms OS i used

This laptop was a piece of shit period, I had one that was given to me, and only after 2 weeks of ownership the motherboard failed on it entirely, it was purchased new in 2005, and i got it in 06 someone had given to me, My Toshiba satellite, with a lower end proccessor, and a bigger display was a better computer then this one at the time, and it only cost $1200.00.

This thing was basically the same as my first self built pc, especially some of the high end features... had a 3ghz p4 (Prescott) and a radeon 980 pro with a cool 256 ram... only cost me a fraction of this thing, for some reason lol... but damn that's some serious nostalgia.

man these games, it's a shame a lot of games like that aren't made anymore. everything has to be expensive and super high production. Can we just go back to silly 2004 graphics with silly mechanics :(

Fuck you I can put it on my lap if I want to asshole.

Does Pentium Penis 6 exist on the market 🤔

It's crazy how fast tech has improved just in 17 years

The removable fans a decent idea!

I still have an old Inspiron 8100 lying around somewhere. Thing weighs more than all three of my more modern laptops I’ve gotten over the years. Combined. lol

10:26 In 2004 we students watched lots of youtube videos in university. If WinXP, Flash player and Firefox are up and running for few minutes, surfing the web was rather fluent. Bottleneck were the harddrives. As soon as every important processes has been loaded in caches and RAM, notebooks got good responsetime even in 2004.

Runs hot? More like, keyboard doubles as a hand warmer.. :)

Why is the RAM so expensive though??

I have a similar one as a backup/throw-away that I still use to watch DVDs since it actually has a remote control that pops out of the side

This is like an overkill bomb (I say it's a bomb due the battery but I say overkill because of the specs). I'm pretty sure you can play games like Portal 2 on lowest settings like a cakewalk

1200p wide-screen in 2004? Back then I had a 1.8ghz p4, 512mb ram and 40gig hdd, with a crappy via s3 graphics and a LG 500G monitor

Great review and laptop. Those P4 laptops will keep you very warm on a cold Winter night.

in my country , this is cheap as hell

I still have the basic version of this laptop, minus the fried hard drive. Still, got my money out of it since I used it for college classes.

Midtown madness WIN

I have a Sony Vaio with similar spec to this from late 2003, I just got it out after not being used for 5yrs or so. Still runs ok after I stripped it down and got all the fluff out of it lol. I just tried to upgrade the ram to 2g, it didn't work but it's stable at 1.5g. I think I'm gonna keep it and use it for music media.

This more feature than the newest macbook

I have a Dell studio Windows Vista.

I have one almost exactly like that, Mine is a Dell Inspiron 8600.

Keyboard and top are exactly alike, but the bottom and port placement are a little different.

In 2004 I bought a Sony Vaio in the same spec

i have a Medion branded(made by Mitac, i think) laptop that i'm pretty sure has desktop pentium 4 in, also uses full size desktop ddr ram, a whopping 6.5 amp at 19 v power input !

The newest version for XP of the Opera browser runs a lot better than Firefox on XP.

Oh wow I thought you had purchased the one I sold on eBay several years ago! Was running Windows 10 with the P4 Extreme Edition, 1200x1080p res, 2GB of RAM and that 256MB card with the pipeline mod (connect two points, double the pipelines!) I wish I never sold it, I bought an XPS version but the Inspiron 9100 in that spec is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Runs Fallout 3 and Oblivion pretty well!

I had the lesser model of this that came along also with the desktop CPU on the motherboard and yes it ran very hot. I only got it so I could play HALO and it ran so hot that it bent the memory chips! When the memory chips cooled off they would not ever bend back straight. So had to buy new memory...... Also would over heat the hard drive like crazy as well. Lovely machine if you just run MS office on it and thats it

Eh, see if you can stick a Pentium D in it.

OMG!!!! I used to have one of these. I'm not gonna lie it was a really awesome laptop. Thank you for posting this!!!. I haven't seen one like mine since 2007 it's amazing..!!

Haha I had this laptop, no joke it actually started smoking and caught fire on my lap while I was using it in bed...customer support shat themselves and offered immediate replacement but I said no thanks.....

2004 isn't that long ago really....

My Dad had one, actually he still does..... Might see if it still runs 😊

Hahaha I still have that laptop

Wow tech then vs now. While watching this on the air 4

Now I want to play Doom 3.

Cool laptop.

Dang.Thats faster than my dell inspiron clocking aat 3.1 ghz

Slow? that browser is running as well as chrome on my windows 10 PC.

That thing is like my old 2004 Workstation in a laptop. Holy shit!

This is the laptop I clocked probably thousands of hours of Sims 2 gameplay on!! It was hot as balls!

Oh, good. I was about ready to start typing VERY quickly if he didn't play Morrowind.

Since when is "Skullz" not with a Z?

I got an old Notebook from this time (Toshiba Tecra S1 2ghz Pentium m + radeon 9000 2gb ram) but this dell thing is a beast.

Use BRAVE Browser, much easier on older PC/Laptop

Ah, the good old days.....when you could actually service your laptop.

This iPad. has 3 Gb ofRAM.....AND they charged how much to “upgrade” to 2?

Amazing how much computers used to cost.

I think I have that same laptop

How do you able to open youtube with windows xp

I remember my dad having a few of these he got from his work in '09 they were one of my first ever computers I came in contact with. This was a nostalgic video

I got one of these when I graduated high school. It was absurd.

I wish he tried The Sims 2. In 2004, if this laptop could run it, I would ask my parents to buy it for college purpose, though really, I would just play The Sims 2 anywhere I Like. :P

I want them to make the laptops thick again so they can put full power components in dere

My 2017 dell Inspiron also has an easy access to change parts, and also a really nice screen. Good to know they had this features since 2004

Lgr made a mac cry when he said he loves ports

Oh god I remember this laptop. My mom had one and I’d always ask her to bring it on vacations so I could play roller coaster tycoon and Civ3

I WANT that laptop. I cannot find one on ebay :-( (UK)

That pentium 4 chip being 32-bit is what made it so much worse compared to even a mobile AMD Athlon 64, being a 64bit cpu and all. As long as you fed the athlon 64 with updated applications that took advantage of it, it would beat the Pentium 4 any day even at lower clock speeds. Might have been a better focus when comparing those during your benchmark section of the video.

If you're not Lenovo/IBM, just don't even try trackpoint. You're going to fail miserably.

I have the XPS version of that lol with the RED snapon lid cover, 2GB RAM, Radeon 9800 256MB and a P4 EE 3.2GHz only real different I can see beteween the mainboards it the Gigabit ethernet and startup splash screen on the XPS :)
