Here a bit of a fun comparison for all of you:

A #PinebookPro compared to a state of the art notebook from 2002.

Of course, the Pinebook Pro is so much faster too. ?

To be fair, this particular behemoth (Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277) was massive even by 2002 standards. But it wasn't *that* far out of the realm of normal...

I think I knew someone who had that very Toshiba laptop. Yes, technology has improved a lot since then.

but the Pinebook Pro doesn't have cool external media playback buttons so you can use your laptop as a jam box...

...yet.

well it's 8 years old. It doesn't sound like a good competition to show the Pine is a current device of you need to compare to a dino. ?

I believe you dropped a "1" there -- it's 18 years old!

Of course it's not a fair comparison. I just had these machines sitting next to each other and I noticed how comical the size difference is.

Well, none the less I like your work and am waiting for my PinePhone to arrive. ?

The old one has got harman/kardon speakers - great sound. ?

Are you sure about that? The speakers on mine are the worst I've heard on any laptop ever.

Maybe the previous owner blew them out or something...

But the notebook has more connectivity - it has USB, RS232, Parallel, a CD drive and possibly even a floppy drive!

It does have a floppy drive... right next to the DVD drive. 2002 was a weird point in time for tech.

But it also weighs 8.3lb (3.8kg, or 3 whole #PinebookPro), and I'm not sure you want to carry that around with you every day. ?

Beefier laptops also tend to have nicer keyboards...
