@ $5,399

The Compaq SLT/286 laptop is a steal at a meer 14lbs being only 8 1/2" thick. 1 to 2" thinner than the competition!

that is crazy i wonder how much that would be in todays world, i mean 2300 was alot back then, its probably like 5000 in todays money

Dayum

Mind boggling. If the automotive industry advanced like that and if, say, a $10,000 dollar car made 100 horsepower the same time as that drive, then currently you’d be able to get a 100,000 horsepower car for $1,000 bucks now. :bloated: Not apples to apples by any means, but still. That kind of advancement fucks my mind.

those catalog numbers look like radioshacks

it says radio shack on the unit…

Technically that could be considered true, consider how old Ferrari’s, and Porsches put down 200HP or less. Had you told someone back in the 50s that you could easily buy a car that out handled a Ferrari, and was faster and had more features and was made by the Japanese on top of that they would have said you were insane.

Ex.
1950 Ferrari 166
V12-2.0L @ 140HP

Vs.

2007 Honda Civic
I4-1.8L @ 140HP

Yet here we are. It doesn’t move as fast as electronics do. But it does slowly trickle down.

and here i thought i was being extra observant… :ham:

and what was the price on the ferrari back then compared to the civic today.

go to bestbuy right now or something. a 1tb hard drive is like 650 bucks. where you can get a 100gb harddrive for 50 bucks now.

in proly 10 years a 1tb harddrive will be 50 bucks and a 1petabyte disc will be like 1000 bucks

crazy, you can get a 1gb flashdrive for 20 bucks right now and its smaller then a pen.

my 1gb flash drive is smaller than a penny… its incredible how small things can be and hold so much now a day.

i remember a long long time ago i bought 4 mb of ram for an old ass mac computer and it was almost 400$
