    ITEM: Vintage Laptops
    POST\COLLECTION: Collection
    PRICE: Free
    PAYMENT METHODS: Cash

    Have two vintage Pentium III Toshiba Satellite pros. Had plans to use them to play old PC games but never got around to it.

    Specs are:

    Pentium III
    Windows 2000 (new loaded - need some drivers)
    128 and 256 MB RAM

    Ad where I originally bought them:

    https://www.adverts.ie/laptops/2-x-vintage-toshiba-satellite-pro-4600-laptops/10509401

    Lost the PSU unfortunately however you can buy them on ebay for about 20 quid.

    Will also throw in Wii console only if someone wants to pick up a few things at once.

    On an unrelated note (apologies for the OT post), you can do this on your Win10 machine with Hyper-V manager (it's an install option for windows features). Allows you to run other operating systems natively; think remote desktop login and you should get the idea.

    I use one to run old win98 games. You will need a legit copy (or key ... ) of whatever Operating Systems you install mind.

    Thanks for this by the way, I didn't know this existed but was able to boot it up and give some games a go. That's super handy!

    Can lock this thread up by the way, laptops have been rehomed in Casa Del Cider
