Mom: "You have a laptop already, it still works."
*You know the rest*

You know Brian is a true friend because he remembers the time you told him about your favorite game and loads it up for you.

Linus reviewing Razer blade: Yeah this laptop is pretty cool
Linus reviewing 25 year old laptop: HOLY CRAP THS IS AMAZING!!

[EposVox]

Good times. I remember upgrading my PC to a 4GB drive. Was epic.

[CoolGorillaGoAnimate]

Linus' reaction to the Windows 95 startup sound is one of the best reactions I've seen especially the nostalgic feeling he has about Windows 95.

"one thing I did as a teenager was look at pictures"
-Linus
His parents: "We heard everything"

[ojcmaboloc]

1995: HOLY CRAP THIS CD BURNING TECH IS AMAZING
2019: This CD burning takes too long.
2040: What's a CD

[kennethpowers]

The nostalgia from that windows 95 start up sound was so real I got a positive mood boost just from hearing it.

[chrisdpratt]

My first desktop had a 2GB hard drive, and I literally thought to myself: 2GB?! How am I ever going to use all that? Oh, to be young an naive again.

[breadpirateroberts]

"here's something we haven't seen ina while, a removable battery"


*laughs in thinkpad*

[jeromeglick]

Love your enthusiasm Linus! Thanks for bringing to life some of the genuine excitement of that era in tech. I can still remember how excited I was to get a second-hand CD burner (with a missing faceplate) from my art teacher so I could burn my very first CD of Beatles music that I had dubbed into Sound Recorder from a boombox playing a cassette tape, which in turn was recorded by my dad off the radio from a show celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America. Then actually playing that CD in the boombox, thinking I had just pwned the system. Those were the days!

[User-O]

Watching this guy get more excited about 25-year-old technology than people got when it was new.

[elimalinsky]

"One thing I've used my old Windows 95 laptop for is looking at pictures"
We all did... the kind of pictures you didn't want your parents to find on your computer.

“Our PCs looked so much more different from you kids now.”
Me looking at my 2001 laptop.

[fearless_ambassador_ambo]

Suddenly it's 1998 and I'm back in my freshman year at college with my brand new Toshiba laptop (a high school graduation gift) playing Doom, Quake and Duke Nukem 3D in my dorm room. Just a few years later I'd be swapping horrible-sounding, low res MP3's via my Zip drive to be played in Winamp (It really whips the llama's ass!) on a pair of crappy Altec Lansing computer speakers. Ah, simpler times.

"One thing I liked to do when I was a teenager was look at pictures"
*goes on to talk about how badly the display handles skin tone*


I understand linus, I understand.

[SpottySaber]

“I used it too look at pictures”
Awkward silence

Moves onto a picture and talks about skin tone
