Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Laptops

I was an Acer laptop fan back in the day and still have my TravelMate from 2008. Cutting edge at the time it's now running Windows 10 - just although doesn't get much use now preferring the simplicity of Android phone and tablet.

When I retired in 1999 to go cruising on a sailing yacht I made the mistake of spending money on a conservatively spec'd but bulletproof Panasonic Toughbook. Trouble is it outlived it's OS so with 64 bit versions coming on the scene sold it in 2004 still working perfectly despite the marine environment. It was replaced by my first Acer TravelMate, cutting edge processors and affordable. This continued to work fine until binned in 2018 by then passed to my partner and running Windows 7 OS. I recall building my own bootable memory stick with all versions of Windows 7 (one of my favourites) incorporating all security updates current at the time.
