My Computers - 15 Febuary 2018
                    --------------------------------

I'm  a  little  late  to  this topic, but I wanted to make a list of the
computers I owned, and also talk about a dock that  I  recently  started
trying out.

I only own a single desktop, a thinkcentre M91, but I have many laptops.
The M91 has an intel i5 and is  dual  booted  with  debian  and  windows
(yuck).   I  really  only  keep  windows  around  for a few video games,
although I havent played any PC games lately.

I also have a raspberry pi 3b that is  currently  sitting  in  a  drawer
collecting  dust, but I guess one could consider that a desktop computer
as well.

I still have the first laptop that I ever got.  It is a  dell  inspirion
7500 that was given to me by my grandfather for my tenth birthday.  That
thing is a behemoth, It is about an inch thick and weighs 12 pounds.  As
an  indication  of how large this thing is compared to modern computers,
it uses a full five and a half inch desktop hard  drive.   Many  of  the
keys are missing and I don't have the charger anymore, which is a shame;
I would have loved to throw a *nix on it and used it for notes in one of
my classes just for laughs.

Then  there  is  the acer aspire one netbook that I never use.  It works
great even though it's a decade old and can even render  youtube  videos
(albeit  at 360p).  I love how small and well built this computer is but
the thing gets really hot and the battery only lasts about an hour and a
half.

My  grandfather  bought  me a hp envy 360 with an i5 proccesor two years
ago for college, but I also rarely use this one. Currently it is running
arch linux.

My  mother's  friend  gave  me  a  thinkpad T61 that she found after she
bought an expired self storage unit.  It's running mangaro with  i3  and
although  it  is  perfectly  functional  it has been replaced by my X200
which is better in almost every way.

The laptop that I mainly use is a thinkpad x200.  It has an intel core 2
duo,  8gb  of ram, a 120gb ssd, and is librebooted.  I think my favorite
thing about this computer is that there is no touchpad, you only  use  a
touch point (aka nipple mouse).

When  I  bought  the x200 it came with a dock, but only yesterday have I
actually used it.  The dock is really cool, you can hook up all kinds of
IO  like  mice,  keyboards,  monitors, et cetera.  The laptop just plops
right into  the  dock  and  connects  the  peripherals  instantly.   I'm
thinking  about  using my x200 as a laptop and as a desktop by using the
dock, and then maybe I could let my family use my desktop  as  a  shared
computer.

I really like the idea of only having a single computer that operates as
both a desktop  and  a  laptop.   I  wouldn't  need  any  fancy  syncing
solutions  and  I  could  be more minimal technology wise.  And If I did
give the M91 to the family, then I would still have a backup computer to
use.
