Sup folks, hope your week has gone well! Got a video here about one of the items from the most recent round of donations: the Dell Inspiron 9100, a desktop replacement notebook computer from 2004 that cost $4800 when fully-loaded.

Emphasis on the "desktop" part of desktop replacement, being that it has a full desktop Pentium 4 CPU inside, and even a built-in subwoofer. Yeah. It's quite the beastly  -- and power hungry! -- Windows XP laptop. Enjoy this look back at it!

As for the next video, I've got a good number of awesome things in the pipeline but none of them are gonna be finished within the coming week. So yeah, no video next week, at least not on the main channel. I do post random weirdness over on LGR Blerbs though, including this recent silliness, so stay tuned over there if you need your fix in the meantime. 👍

Dell Inspiron 9100: $4,800 Pentium 4 Laptop from 2004

Among mid-2000s Windows XP notebook computers, the Inspiron 9100 was thoroughly into desktop replacement territory. Dell gave it a full desktop Pentium 4 CPU, a 16:10 HD display, and even a built-in subwoofer! What a hot and heavy beast of a gaming laptop, portable workstation, and media center all in one. ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Music courtesy of: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Dell #WindowsXP

Was fine when I played it just now, got the HD version with no worries.

I remember my cousin having a similar spec Sager desktop replacement laptop with a p4 cpu. I would park myself near the vent and rest my feet on the charger during the winter months. Other than the fan noise those mid 00s desktop replacement laptops made great space heaters, or even lap warmers as long as you didn't pay attention to the long term male reproductive health studies coming out at the time.

Lol, the fish tank screen saver probably draws more power than a real one. But the display is awesome for its time!

What a beast of a laptop. Great video! This beat the heck out of my Sony Vaio I had back then with 2.4GHz P4. I would have loved to get my hands on a 3.2 with HT for it if I could. On a side note, do you have Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater? It was one of my favorites back in the day with a Logitech Wingman. I'd just love to see it again if you cover a computer that makes sense for it (min: P2 266MHz).

Comic Sans farts. Isn't that right!

Any time I start to worry that I'm not mature enough for my age, I watch LGR and see a Comic Sans "Farts" or a Penises 3d screen saver, and immediately feel reassured that I am not alone.

re: putting old laptops online, the last time I fired up my old Dell I had to fetch a cable from my bag, after remembering I had set my router to run only 802.11d in the hopes of speeding it up, and the laptop only supported up to g.

This thing's as thick as five MacBook Airs, and has more ports than five MacBook Airs as well.

Oh man I loved that benchmark montage.

I got a lot of mileage out of one of this back then

I had a Fujitsu Siemens laptop from the time with a desktop 3.06ghz P4.... but it was a Northwood, and that wasn't great for heat or battery life.... The idea of a 'Preshot' in a laptop makes me wince.

Can I just say... that random silliness in the Blerb made me laugh so much. Well done, sir.

What's the point in revisiting one's younger years if you don't revisit some of the immature parts too, right?

Heh, I feel that. I have to reboot my router into the older b/g signal anytime I need to do something like this. More often than not I just bust out an ethernet cable or rig something up over USB.

Thank you! It was actually an accident at first since my commentary didn't drop in correctly, and rendered with just the music playing. But it had a nice vibe to it so I left it in and re-recorded some narration to say it was a montage :P

Heh, yeah something like the Prescott has no business being in a portable. Yet here it is and it's all the more amusing for it. And by amusing I mean IT SETS LEGS ON FIRE.

Thing is, if you know what you are doing having XP on the network is no problem. And if you insist on using it for browsing the web then get yourself NoScript and uBlock Origin, that covers almost 99% of all drive-by attacks from malicious websites. But if you want to be on the safer side, feed it drivers and whatnot trough CIFS/Samba.

that is one chonky boy edit: btw, you got yourself a new patreon member! :P

What a CHONK of a laptop (the term laptop being used very loosely here). However, I think one of my favorite bits about this video is the Quicksnap covers. I love how you can take your multi-thousand dollar, state-of-the-art laptop and give it some edgy Hot Topic flare.

Haha, it really is peak mid-2000s plastic design. A true successor to late-90s plastic design, where everything had colorful translucent faceplates.

I had one of these at my old job many years ago, Well similar but not the same. The one I had was a Precison model of the same vintage but looked identical just without the blue and I think a Quadra GPU geared more towards CAD etc.. Think was heavy as hell.
