I had an HP laptop circa 2007? I honestly don't remember the specs, but I know for a fact that it wasn't worth the $500 my parents paid for it. The laptop lasted for around two years and I've probably owned 5 or 6 laptops since then. I'm pretty happy with my current setup (fingers crossed that it doesn't break).

Started a long time ago with a TI 99/4a, then moved up to an Atari 800xl with happy drives (special 5 1/4" drives that could break disk protections), then I finally got an Atari ST.
Used to love the game midi maze with the Atari ST. It was awesome. First time I was ever exposed to the idea of networking. Man I really miss that game. Fun times...

This brings back memories!
My first real PC was I believe a 8086 chip and it probably looked close like this
I remember upgrading to a color screen later on and my mom buying me a Soundblaster 1.0. I loved the Sierra adventures like the one in my profile pic!
Before that I had a C64. Best times ever. Running back from school just to play your games.
And before that I had an Atari 2600 with those cartridges. Awful games but who cared at that age anyway. It was crazy fun!

It was a laptop. Still with me after 10 years.

Exactamente ... the C64 was a real revelation for me as a child
You won't believe how much I played that game. It was ridiculous

Mine was an unbranded, custom built very low end Windows PC. The good ole white case with no identifying marks and low ram.

Mine was an amstrad like the one below. It had a separate tape drive for loading up games and also had a monitor with a single colour (green) display.
And my favourite game on this computer was Jet Set Willy. The graphics were amazing at the time lol
