Such a banged up machine but 28 years that's understandable. This made me dream, for a moment, that somewhere out there there is (perhaps forgotten?) box with this exact laptop that has not been opened just yet. Can you imagine having a blast from the past by actually being a person that unsealed this 28 years-old box for the first time.. using your nostrils to pull in that distinct smell of a brand new parts being assembled together... wonder how much a box like that unopened would cost...


They exist! This YouTuber was lucky enough to have the experience and he made an unboxing video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nRVJCtREW38


Huh? That video is a review of a borrowed unit.

> And a big thanks to Sam for letting me borrow this fantastic machine for this video


Sniff around companies and universities that have IT departments that old - often they have shelves of NIB stuff that never got used somewhere.
