From the build to its state of the art hardware its still a classic. At the time they were known as Desk Top Replacements class laptops- the most powerful available in a laptop-now known as Workstations 

(a few of the pics will be updated very soon but laptop is excellent condition)

IN Great COLLECTABLE CONDITION I have seen 1-2 yr old laptops not look this good

Today it is a perfect candidate for retro gaming in a laptop....No need for a noisy space consuming desktop set-up...........use it and when you're done, stack it on a book shelf or in a drawer

I have cleaned and refurbished it to top new  like condition and its ready to play those old gem game of the golden era. 

***Included and loaded for trail***

full versions of Warcraft 2- classic RTS---MDK classic 1st person shooter+ and the first Diablo classic RPG... with backup disks ***for demo purposes only and should be removed after trying them out*** 

** NEW 160gb HD  with win98 SE  with all up to date drivers from IBM (also includes last unofficial 98SE 'update 'SP3' for the XP like simplicity and features) or dual boot with XP

                              for full internet capablility which 98 lacks ....... there is plenty of HD space here ( originally came with 12 gb or mega 20gb later on)

OR   *****optional Samsung 840   128gb SSD HD an SSD running Win 98 is amazingly fast (due to the small scale os programs and files in Win 98) You will be jealous your modern PC cant be this fast

---- Dont be fooled with a vintage hard drives 18+ yrs old  a original retro HD is very slow and ready to fail after 20+ yrs ................its lucky to still be working

**1Gb (2gb will Max out)***

**USB Microsoft Mouse the best corded mouse ever made

**AC adapter (IBM original)

**Battery is  the original and will hold some or no charge will need to be replaced as with all laptops it runs best on AC (CMOS battery has been replaced *new*)

You dont need to use old low end machine while these classics are still around----DONT SETTLE ---***Fully compatible with Win 98 SE and most DOS 

games I say most because I didnt try all of them and there could be some that might not run completely as intended.
