I felt like making a nerdy list. The computers I have owned. A history.

BTW also worked with DEC 10, VAX, ICL mainframe – VME, IBM mainframe – System 390 and beyond, Solaris, Aix.

TI-99/4A. Talks BASIC. Peek and Poke to move you directly into its memory.

Toshiba MSX computer HX-10AA. Running the failed MSX operating system standard. Could already do a lot more with it.

Tulip PC compatible.

IBM PS2. Unimaginative bin. Dialed into the Internet with it for the first time. Via Compuserve.

IBM Thinkpad 500. My first portable, in quotes. Thing weighed like lead.

IBM Thinkpad T20, T30, T41. All very good.

Lenovo T410. Na de verkoop van de PC divisie overgestapt op Lenovo.

Apple MacBook 2009. This was my first MacBook. Only then did I notice that the user experience of a Mac is so incredibly better than that of Windows. It also boots within 10 seconds, whereas my Windows machines always take over a minute or even (much) longer.

Apple Macbook Pro 2013.

By far the best of them all. Still performs top notch. Indestructible.

Lenovo Ideapad 510. Plastic device. Poor touchpad. But then again is by far the cheapest in the list.

HP EliteBook 1040 G3. Pretty robust and comfortable.

.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020). With touch bar. Could have left that out from me.

Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro.

Update 2025: still working on a Lenovo Ideapad, and the MacBook. The distance between MacOS and Windows is decreasing. I have some old laptops running Linux, which is doable because I am a techie.
