Currently Playing: $3,000 Midlife Crisis Laptop from 1993: Compaq LTE Lite 4/25E Monochrome

This ain't just any old beige 486 computer, this has an active matrix monochrome screen! One of only a handful of laptops that ever had such a thing, which is great since these mono LCDs were normally a blurry mess of sadness. Unfortunately it's not without its issues and it still needs some attention, but it's something I've wanted to discuss on LGR and what better time than now while it still works? ● Links to related videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okz14yztJ3I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQkP0l7Syw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIwXQicYClw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oujiWpcc0m0 ● Background music is from Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ 00:00 Compaq LTE context 01:05 TFT LCD 02:46 external features 05:38 pricing in 1993 06:25 cleaning it up 07:02 power on boot up 10:23 Ohio essays 12:23 reinstalling the OS? 12:59 conundrums 16:36 LapLink file transfers 19:09 crap! tunnel vision 21:05 Crystal Caves 23:24 Doom 25:27 Windows 95 "colors" 27:00 outroduction #lgr #retro #computer
