Must be from around the era I bought my first laptop. The CTX EXBook 700 was trash. Drives would fail, the battery didn't last long (I think it was NiMh).
I was top bidder in an Egghead auction, and even though it was cheap, it was all a high school kid could afford on a 12hr per week paycheck.
The neat thing was the CPU was upgradable, so I did it. Hardware failure was common, so that's probably what got me comfortable tearing into computers and contributed to my career trajectory. If the thing doesn't work, you can't make it any worse by opening it up and fiddling.
