I felt in love with older computers especially when restoring them. Amazing restoration as always Andrew!
Thank you bro 😊
An older laptop that most people would almost certainly have just thrown away, but you've given it new life and made it completely one-of-a-kind. Love the final look.
omg this is my dad's laptop when I was little.
I used to play c&c red alert😭
That’s my favourite game to this day! I started to play when I was 6 and now I’m 15 and it’s the best game ever!
I always love this segment, i mean when u shows us doing some upgrades, clean the dust etc
Thank you bro 😊
Honestly, sometimes I have trouble understanding you, but your channel is amazing, your English is wonderful, and you've taught me a thing or two when I do my own laptop restorations here and there. Thank you for this great content!
That's and old gem of tech that must be preserved well, nice vid!
Thank you 😊
Laptop with max 2 RAM upgradable only, when nowadays smartphone are available with 12GB RAM.
Technology running so fast, I was born in 1994 and I'm glad to see all of this progress.
Yeah
@@JPX64Channel Bro, the new Mac Pro supports more than a Terabyte of Ram.
What a nostalgic!
I had one of these laptop back in the days...and I can't remember how much time I spend with it playing Simcity 4 and few other games.. Awesome!
I've recently discovered this channel, I love to see old computers being restored, the only thing that left to do for those old hardwares is to update from old windows to some lightweight linux
Brings back memories. My first laptop, it was so slow, but it was nice to get a laptop in a age of 11 years old. Also my first windows xp computer, so cool, probably the best version of windows :)
Thank you for your work and passion, you made me start restore computers again. Although I am 30 I used to go to my father's office computer garbage and restore this 386 computers! Been traveling for years so I forgot about how fun this was. Thank you for reminding me friend.
After watching this video, I want to install Windows XP in one old 2007 laptop that I have lying around 😂 I think I like these videos so much because it’s a pleasure to see someone giving some attention to old tech 😄
I love win xp, very nostagic... Greeting from Indonesia... Nice to meet you...
Thank you bro :D btw I still have one laptop with windows XP, I play older games on it, because for me the feeling isn't the same when you play some older games to new machine and older games to some old machine, it's like time machine :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Do you want to use the laptop or sell it sir?
I like how you always start with cleaning process, it’s a positive way of saying that you will really restore it or there’s a great chance of restoring it.
"the legendary Windows XP"
I was born in 2003 and I've used this OS
Here I am
@@FS--ew3se Windows 2000 is better. Fight me!
@@usodarou no! Windows xp is legendariest in the universe
@@hschauhan2553 I do like bliss :)
18:23 It's fun because shots are perfectly timed with the music
I didn't plan that but this music just fits great with that game :D
I love the background music in all videos plus love laptops 😊
Thanks for this videos, I love this kind of videos, actually I have a similar Acer Travelmate 4200 restored too but I used Wrap instead of painting it
Where is eucalyptus oil?
Oh wrong channel 😁
Hit like if you get it.
Babu Aroth haha
Psivewri
No amount of eucalyptus oil will fix that guys annoying facial expressions.
Reborn Audio he reminds me of a gay friend of mine, but he’s great, no need to do him dirty
And the mentholated spirits.
I swear I could watch these videos all day!!!
I felt watching a documentary with a narration like that, very calm and easy to follow
love the channel.
Love to see what old laptops can do in 2020 :D
Keep doing it!!
great job on the restoration, window XP is truly an iconic os from the past
That was my first computer, I still have the manual and it's written Travel Mate 2200 - 2700, I found this video based on that info. Nostalgia :(
So many memories with this computer :')
I really love it more when you add your art to your restoration like those sprays. Even as simple as applying vinyls, it will look very nice.
I remember my Travelmate 2420 back in college.
This laptop's shape looks like Aspire 1650. It remind me of my childhood !😀
Very similar, btw I think i have one 1650, not working, but i will try to repair and make video about
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Nice！😃 But , its graphics Chip is common disease because of horrible heat dissipation design. It cause blurred screen！😫
Hey ! love for India bro. I felt in love with older computers especially when restoring them by you bro
If I didn't know any better, I'd assume that the finished product looked like a toy laptop.
You are a great IT man. I love to watch your videos.
That looks beautiful, my friend. One question, would it be recommended to add a coat of sealant to the painted areas? So as not to rub paint off in high-contact parts like the palm rest
Thank you bro 😊 Actually I used high quality sprays, these sprays are made to take on heat, cold, bad weather and hard to scratch. Also before painting I spray the parts with additional spray that makes the painting after more durable, between the layers I also wait 6h-8h until one layer is completely dry. It's a slow process but the paint is much more durable
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew oh, great. Thanks for the reply. Love your content
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Is it enamel paint? my Godson wan't to customise his Playstation controllers but does not know which type of paint to use, I told him possibly enamel.
Thanks Andrew for one more video. Coincident is that I bought same model 3 days ago from local auction, but it was in working condition.
I found my uncle's computer and it was an acer TravelMate 4100 when I watched this video this laptop has the exact design.
Actually for me his laptop restoration is so satisfying for me
this looks just like my first laptop (travelmate 4000) with pentium M 1.70 and ati radeon 9700 64mb. back then it costs a fortune but it plays any game in high graphics in 2005. design was nice and i love the curved keyboard. wish newer laptop had these.
Andrew made another great video👌
Thank you so much for all this effort👍
amazing! older computers
I can't believe it. You're taking it to the next LEVEL! :O
I have revived a Toshiba Tecra A9 S9020X and increased its capacity, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD.
It is natively XP but now it uses two systems: win 7 and Linux Mint Ulyana Cinamon.
Installed game: NFS Underground 2 running perfectly
Hi Im iranian and i love ur videos they are perfect Tnx🙂❤
May I give you some advice? Try to make the fade-in/outs and fadeover of the music and your voiceovers more subtle, by making them longer and slower. It makes your video's look even more professional.
You are genius, Hats off to you, sir
You have a nice calm, relaxing and easily understood voice that makes your videos easy to watch, are you Spanish perhaps?
Genius is back 👏
Can't wait for the next laptop build!
The paint scheme reminds me of late 90s sony vaio x series
Man, I started my carreer on programing with one very similar, same line travelmate.
I don't know why cleaning the DISPLAY is always the best part of his videos :p
Hello! Great videos btw, they are satisfying, well made, and with good precision. Continue your work!
Why is everyone saying better than my laptop 🙂
better than my laptop
I Dont HAve Laptop
My laptop is better
BETTER THAN MY MOTHER
Better then my laptop 😀 btw thanks for watching bro's
Amazing as always
Thank you bro 😊
That was my first laptop ever old days :)
Impressive work , note that it's very hard finding replacement drives the only way to get more storage in there without getting rid of the dvd player is by modding a small form factor msata ssd into an adapter to that , i never seen this happening before , but might be good after such modding and upgrades for a Linux machine or even a retro Original Windows xp for games , Using external peripherals for the best experience and Vga adapter if you don't have an old screen , even crt would be cool ..
I love you andrew
Just
And i love your videos 🎥
I would avoid painting the silver part of the upper case also, those help dissipate heat
That looks awesome. Would like to see an Eva-01 themed laptop one day :P
Older Acers are the best!!
I really love your mods and all your work
Silicon Graphics would be very proud of this
GOD I love this kind of stuff.
Thank you bro 😊
I have old HP 530 with XP. I played my first mmorpg on this machine :)
Good job on upgrading the old laptop 👌
The video is really great, try to maintain the first BGM throughout the video as it has become a unique one that suits all your videos perfectly.Try some other BGMs as well,lets see which suits your videos the most. You can include the footage of painting the case of the laptop, that would have made the video look more interesting.
Keep it up...
Love your work, I appreciate it, keep doing more videos.
Waiting for your next upload 😊.
Dude, you should try some lite linux distros, maybe Zorin 15 Lite or something like that. Btw nice videos 😌

Acer Taverkmate 2300 Ihan asiallinen ja mukiinmenevä läppärin tuunaus-video.
Nice colors, great video
AMAZING VIDEO DUDE
My first laptop was a travelmate 2300
Hello sir am from India I have Dell 1545 from 3 days suddenly it's some of the keys not working but others are working normal I tried reinstalling driver opened keyboard and used eraser to clean carbon stip but wasted what to do now
damn I had one of thoose. I played a ton of Sonic 3D on it. The 1st game I completed, actualy
I like these types of videos
Really cool what you managed to get out of this old notebook, but I persoanlly don't think that notebooks with hardware pre- Intel Core i5 2xxx are worth restoring to such a degree.
hello sir i'm from the philippines and i love watching all of your videos i wish u were near here in the phil so i can deliver my laptop to you to upgrade it . if its possible :)
You know this work.
Can also putting the hard drive caddy to replacing the optical drive and can also upgrading to SSD on this laptop?
great work could I ask you how can I get a copy of Windows XP for an old computer to the hard drive died I have the key for it
