My old HP Omnibook 4150, which could run Linux and everything from Win3.1 (in True Color thanks to ThinkPad 600E graphics drivers, and SB16/WSS emulation) through XP.
In retrospect it was the right choice to replace it with my current Toshiba Portégés for retro purposes, though, once it literally fell apart.
The HHKB easily
What thinkpad is that?
Beat up X220 on a dock
First computer I even actually owned myself (photo is ancient). It had an 800mhz G3, 512mb ram and a 30gb hd.
The iBooks were the perfect sized computer.
This. Made me finally retire my beloved IIe. Last Apple product I used before I finally joined the PC master race in 1989.
Pic not mine. My IIGS is boxed up in the rafters of my parents' garage three states away.

as much as i hate nu-Apple, you are a well adjusted individual
cheers

Anything with bezelless keyboard and slim-bezel lcd is comfy.
My T42 was very comfy before it starting failing and falling apart.
Apple is scum, but these computers were really well designed machines. This was also at a point where laptops looked like ass and technology in general had not yet become omnipresent and mainstream - you can tell that they designed these to attract more customers.
Amen
I'll be shocked if anyone here has had the pleasure of hacking with one of these things
...
My first computer was a 2006 MacBook 13 inch. Had 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and came with OS X 10.5 installed. I still have it. It's Librebooted and running Debian now.
I miss mine. A good one on ebay is only like $100 but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify the purchase.
Sexy.
Everyone who was ever given a thinkpad as a work
computer has contemplated stealing it.
I plan on "losing" mine on january. Good friend of mine works on PR and finances and says that they cant do shit about it. They dont have to give me another one tho.
Im leaving on february so :^)
was meant for
Which monitors are those? Seem understated in a really nice way.
dell u2312hm in portret mode
This so much famalam. The first generation intel models were the peak of apple design
Please, do not sexualize the hardware. It is cute, not sexy.
Sony MZ-RH10. This thing was seriously based. Great sound and build quality, battery lasts more than a week (with the AA rechargeable battery add on), inline remote and relatively small. The only problem was sony's meme sonicstage software but that could be avoided via a winamp plug-in. After that Apple screwed everything up....
>I miss mine. A good one on ebay is only like $100 but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify the purchase.
Holy shit, I really thought those are under $50. There are even ones selling for more that $150!
Fuck yeah, portable media players!
I still have my Phillips Go Gear Spark 4GB but sadly it died just a year back and won't turn on again. :(

You posted it. Going to upgrade mine with a 240GB SSD and 1400x1050 IPS screen
yup, underage
Any hardware, or are we just limiting ourselves to PC and laptop?
ブラードラナーはくそです
Fuck I miss minidisc, I had the MZ-NH1.
But most comfy hardware for me is pic related.
good time
I had that form factor but it was a Pentium 120mhz
Microsoft bluetooth keyb
My hacker to0l.
Touchscreen?
This was such a nice porn player when I was a teen. Homebrew stuff was fun too.

Kindle Paperwhite.

Comfiest hardware i have is probably my titanium PowerBook G4. Its a 550 mhz so its borderline useless now though. The 2001 studio display next to it is attached to an equally comfy dual 450 G4 tower too.
If i had the skill i would make one of those and have the hacking minigame on it.
mines still going hard
i sink time into it as a fun project of sorts
thinking of upgrading the screen to a 1400x1050 one soon, but the high res 14" screens are nearly impossible to find
no pics at the moment because im on another thinkpad that doesnt have any of my pics on it, but internals are beautiful
dropped in the heatsink from an R52, the longer one that covers the GPU and chipset, thing dropped 20 degrees under full load including a heatsink polishing and AS5 repasting
definitely a comfy machine, though if my x41t im using right now had better battery life this would be my main machine, touchscreen, sd card reader and SSD makes it a unique little machine
Other than the shitty virtual memory and browser support it aged pretty well and I kind of want to set it up again.

60% keyboards are really comfy
Steelseries Kinzu v2
it was good, if only the palm rest was matte black too it would literally be perfect
I had the 133mhz version
, non MMX
Yeah my minidisc player was comfy as fuck. 4-6 albums per disc, crazy long battery life. Sony store warnity that covered everything (last repair was twice the cost of the unit since the parts were all EOL and Sony is based and fixes shit instead of pushing a shitty new thing on you)
Choices at the time were discmans that skipped ( even the high end ones with buffer) had shit battery, over priced mp3 players that had expensive as fuck SD cards and usually 64-128mb of space.
Minidiscs were comfy as fuck.
Samsung nb30
160gb ipod classic
Mine had the 14.1" 1400x1050 display from the factory. Backlight turned pink after a ridiculously low amount of hours though, and the replacement I got for it was terrible. Didn't really feel like gambling on more backlight swaps in hopes of getting one that wasn't junk, so I gave it to my dad at that point. He's one of those "looksfinetome" people who couldn't even see anything wrong with the display, so he was pretty happy with it until it got the infamous GPU solder failure, then he got himself a new Mac.
I always loved the 14.1" 4:3 form factor, and 1400x1050 made all the difference in usability over 1024x768 which was getting pretty cramped by the mid-2000s.
I still have my T23 which also has a 14.1" 1400x1050 LCD and that one still has a nice pure backlight, but the machine is kind of too old to be usable any more. Plus the case has broken in many parts and the machine is barely holding together, but it still fires right up and works perfectly. I was having all kinds of trouble with graphics newer versions of Linux distros, unfortunately, but maybe I'll try installing something new on it again just for fun.
Out of all of them, and there are a lot, it has to be either this or my Acer C710.
Honestly I haven't had a lot of hardware that is not consoles.
The most comfiest hardware that I have had is probably my current PC, it's a Dell Optiplex 7010, pretty good.
i once built the hacking game, easy to put together.
the pc itself would be hard because you would need to have the case either 3d printed or custom made. which would cost quite a bit
fuckin miss these.
a classic indeed
>All this disgusting Apple bullshit, praising garbage keyboards and mediocre as fuck models like the iBook G3
What happened to this place
It grew up and all of the insufferable faggots found other outlets to project their shitty tastes
>Mad because you thought the shitty Apple chicklet keyboard is good
Absolutely pathetic, go back to /r/apple please
at least I get laid
Not him but Apple's scissor switches are great, even better than cherry switches. The only switch I've used that's better is buckling spring.
shills please go
>shilling for a discontinued keyboard
Yeah okay buddy

I miss the smell of the plastic after you were using it for awhile and it started to get hot. Also that soft buzz of the TV running an RF converter for the video.
which ones? the ones in my macbook air are good, but mostly because they only need to be compared to other laptops. the chiclet apple usb keyboard is complete trash compared to cherry blue switches or even apple's older membrane keyboards, imo
this for me too. ill never forget the day the logic board fucked up ;_;
it had the best keyboard of any laptop ive ever used and the all silver is so pretty and i miss it so much. i actually held onto it for like 4 years after it was toast because i couldnt bear to get rid of it.
they were fucking gorgeous for their time too
When the little mouse ball thingy actually worked.
I can type faster on one of these than I ever could on any touch keyboard.
Abit master race
I had a VP6 back in the day. Dual 1 GHz PIII's
>E4200
I have that thing's big brother, the M4400, and can confirm that Dells with that chassis look are kickass little machines, especially after a proper repasting. Great design, a cinch to take apart and service, ports out the wazoo, and nice screen options.
speaking of aesthetics..
I miss this
I really want a phone in its case.
7 years old but still kicking it
they've been hearing it for years. They don't give a fuck..

MiniDisc was good but not great - i used to have a portable discman with the optical out and would make md and dat copies from cd's that people bought to school in my locker over lunch.... that was pretty lucrative since alot of asians at my school had read only MD
but yeah sony shat the bed as usual. they firewalled the minidiscs from computers so heavily because of muh piracy - solid state mp3 devices came in and steamrolled them. Shame really - it took 10 years for the audio quality to get back to the level sony was doing with MD.

The chiclet keyboard. Not the new butterfly switch one, the older one.
please fuck off with your /bsg/ bullshit
Compaq Armada 1750.

We have very similar setups. I love my HHKB, and topre in general. I am actually typing this on my Realforce 87U because my HHKB is at work.
Is that an X230 or an X220? I am using an X230, and it is a great little laptop. Pretty powerful for what it is, and it was really cheap as well. Currently running a 128GB mSATA drive along side my 500GB EVO SSD, so that is pretty neat.
That is incredibly racist. What's wrong with you? It's not the 50s.
