Blast from the past <BIG IMAGES>

So I decided to clean out my closet to make some more space and ran into some old friends, and made a new one.

Image
Here's a whole bunch of laptops, probably going to rebuild/sell them, but wait, whats that over there?

Image
Is that what I think it is?

Image
Its a Thinkpad!

Image
An empty shell of a R40-2897 15"

Image
The R40 emblem

Image
Somewhere along the way the screen got cracked. Darn.

Image
Most of the case is in fair condition, free of deep scratches and dents.

Image
Fairly thick (and durable)

Image
Original label is hardly legible. Dated August 2006

Image
The bottom still has all of the covers. Battery is missing.

Image
15" 4:3 screen compared to a 15" 16:9 screen (Toshiba C655)

But that's not all!

Image
The box for my E425-1198. I paid some $800 for this thing a couple of years ago.

Image
The other side.

Image
Specifications, same side.

Image
AMD Label on side.

Image
Box vacated by only a plastic bag(far top)

We're not done yet.

Image
Ran into this.

Image
Well, isn't this just like old times.

Image
I don't have a studio, but I tried to recreate a stock photo anyways.

Image
Another badly angled shot.

Image
Questionably innovative thinklight feature...

Image
It has a replacement keyboard on it, function keys that don't exist. Burn damage on the Alt Key.

Image
Burn damage on Q key. Surprising quality improvement over stock lenovo keyboard. Very little key wear and firm keystrokes that don't wobble.

Image
E420 Emblem

Image
Lenovo emblem, opposite side

Image
Decent webcam, with absolute **** **** microphone

Image
Backside, with ethernet, battery, and cpu exhaust

Image
Left side, nice amount of ports. Almost didn't buy it because of the combo audio port.

Image
Also not that thin.(Right side)

Image
Bottom side (bad quality)

Image
No clue who these guys are. Bought (or stolen) from a university? (engraved in top lid)

Welp, that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this collection of relatively horrible pics.

Nothing against big pictures in this particular forum, but at these dimensions, nobody can see the whole picture!
You'd be better off by just posting the links!
That way people get to see full pictures the size of their screen, not just a tiny corner!

Pity the screen damaged on the R40.

Ooo! I have a softspot for R40s. It was the very first laptop I bought specifically to run & learn Linux on, back in 2007, off Ebay. Mine's the 14.1" screen, but I love it. It's been dropped twice, no damage done to it either time (I'm lucky, I know!), still runs & I use it almost every day.
