### Lenovo Thinkpad T450s

I got this is May 2019 from a second hand shop in Elephant and Castle.  Refurbished.  £240.

Really liking Thinkpads so far.

-   Processor: Quad-Core Intel Core i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
-   Memory: 8 GB
-   OS: [[Linux Mint]]

More details: [[Lenovo Thinkpad T450s]]


### [[Samsung Galaxy S5]]


## History


### Computers


#### [[Amstrad CPC 464]]


#### RM Nimbus

My primary school had one of these.  I think probably the 80186 version.  So technically better than the Amstrad but I remember the Amstrad being way cooler.  I remember some game that in my head is called Puff the Magic Dragon, but I think it must actually be Through the Dragon's Eye?  

Possibly we did turtle graphics on this at school?


#### Amiga 1200

-   CPU: Motorola 68EC020 @ 14 MHz
-   Memory: 2 MB
-   OS: AmigaOS 3.0/3.1
-   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1200

My Mum got it on credit card and was in debt paying it off for a long time.

I remember Deluxe Paint.  Cannon Fodder.  Sensible Soccer.  Chaos Engine.  Syndicate.  Lemmings.  

Oh and Frontier: Elite II!

I don't remember doing any coding on this one?


#### Family PC

We got a family PC at some point.  Maybe around the time I went to college?  I think it was from Evesham but no clue which one.


#### 1st Laptop

I got one before going to university in 2001.  Possibly from Hi-Grade?  I worked for a long time to save up for it I recall.  I'm convinced it cost over £1000 at the time, although I have no proof.


#### Hi-Grade Notino 4400

My second laptop I think.

-   Processor: don't know
-   Memory: 512 Mb
-   Storage: 30 Gb HDD

I know I had it in Brighton during my Masters degree.  So perhaps I got it in 2006 before starting?

Think it was replaced with the Asus that I got around 2012/2013.

I gave it away in 2019 via Freegle.


#### Asus Vivobook S200

I got an Asus Vivobook S200 on sale from Comet when it was closing.  So I guess around the end of 2012.  I think it was £400.

I replaced the power supply for this once, and had to replace the battery once.


### Consoles


#### Master System

My brother had a Master System.


#### MegaDrive

I got a MegaDrive for Christmas one year.


#### N64

I played Goldeneye a lot.


### Mobile devices


#### Nokia N800

No a phone but an 'Internet tablet'.  It ran Maemo.


#### Samsung Galaxy Portal

My first smartphone.  I think maybe 2009/2010.


#### Motorola Atrix

My second smartphone.  Got it second hand from Computer Exchange.  Maybe 2013?

I replaced the screen on this after I smashed it while shooing away a bee.


#### Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

My third smartphone.  Second hand from Computer Exchange.  I'm going to guess [[2016]].

I replaced the battery and the back panel on this over the span of its life.

OK phone, but it had a locked and encrypted bootloader on it, which was massively shit, and meant I couldn't install any custom ROMs.  I didn't know this was a thing until getting this phone.

It went kaput in [[October 2019]] going into infinite boot loops.


#### Nokia Lumia ?? (930??)

I used this for a bit.  Mike gave it to me as the OS for it was being end-of-lifed.  Kind of crappy, a very dead app store where even of all of the big apps lay pretty unmaintained.  But it did the job as a loaner.
