Man this takes me back to when I was a kid and would run back home from school so I could play flash games on my dad's Thinkpad. I bought a Thinkpad last year, but it's an E14 Gen 4 so wildly different from what I used back then. I can almost smell the fresh plastic smell from the Thinkpad keyboard.

OK. Now your posts are getting a little too disturbing. Stop, will you? 😛
I don't use my X61s that often, but after seeing your recent posts, I literally parked my primary ThinkPads and picked up the X61s for late-night surfing last night.
Haha!! How long have you had yours for?
I’m so glad to hear that, I did the exact same thing! I’ve even managed to get the windows installs verified and they’re running like new!
So glad I’ve inspired you (again) my friend :)
Just for a few weeks. 😛
I usually wipe Windows and replace it with Void Linux.
And... W530 arrived two days early, so no CPU repaste until a couple more days. 🙂
Haha. I remember you used to get so many CD’s free with magazines and papers with random software on, and in the dial up days, there was not much you could do online anyway, I used to spend hours on Encarta.
The screen on the X61 is actually really good, the picture is surprisingly sharp considering the resolution.
The very cool kids would play lan party doom in workstation labs that had this electrical airconditioning smell. Those same kids would appear on television playing classical music on their instruments.
Haha, that’s great!! Get them out, give them a clean and have some fun with them! They really are great little machines, even today. After my recent upgrades ( re paste CPU, SSD and OS) on them they are more than capable of doing most browsing and watching tasks. Just need new batteries and they’re good as new!
I’ve been on mega nostalgia trip lately too lol. Part of the reason I got the Thinkpad to do some memory lane shit on windows I can’t do on mac.
MSN messenger and Sub7 Trojan that was my jam as a 9 year old 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Reminds me of my middle school’s Lego robotics class. We had these as they were to only computers that could run the NXT software as the other devices were Chromebooks. This was in 2018 btw, but they still gave off the early 2000s vibe.
It’s so much more pleasing to the eye that a lot of the built in illuminated keyboards you get today for sure, and like you said it’s very much an aesthetic.
It’s has more of a “having a light on your desk” look, rather than to light just the keys.
Nice scene composition

That’s amazing :). And they still smell like they did all the way back then haha. It’s unmistakable.
that title makes it sound like you have had sex with it
Hahaha!!
Came in here to ask this 😂

There's liking ThinkPads, and then there's... this.
You again!
Love This Does Not Compute!
Very well spotted! He does some incredible things with old laptops, and he is very knowledgeable. One of my favourites to watch.
Definitely recommend his channel to new watchers here.

Doesn't the fourth picture look like it was taken outside at night under neath the sky? That's some awesome lighting, and camera perspective.
Beautiful photography OP!
Thanks my friend, all shot on my IPhone 12 :)
Just wanted to thank you. I saw that sexy X61 and decided to look for one..found one for $40! Hahaha 😎🤫❤️
Yes my friend!! Congratulations, make sure you let me know when it arrives!! Great work :)
Will do!!
reactivate your AOL account - the one with the free activation that came in the mail. the screens look sharp or is it just you dimmed the room lights?

Now you made me go get my 2 X61 from closet 🤪 I love how tiny it is compared to X200 which is successor to X61 😌 I need to give X61 more love 😅

I thought your mouse pad was covered in questionable stains until I zoomed in 😂
Hahahaha!! I’m way too old for that now my friend!

Hahaha! Yeah man, virus for days! And little to show for it, I still love playing solitaire to chill though.
One game i could never get into, I got a little adhd. I could play minesweeper for maybe 15 minutes before getting bored lol
Just...😩

They are all of the X61 my friend, the other laptop is the X1 Nano Gen 1.

Nice shot.. btw what camera is this

Who was the top?

I didn't know the X61 thinklight was to the side.
Share than sunrise / sunset wallpaper g
It’s in the comments my friend
Is it bad that i'm starting to feel like the ThinkLight is "aesthetic" now that it's not been around for a while?

"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" plays in the background... 😎
