Came across an old Acer Iconia W700P, battery said it was healthy but wouldn't charge, SSD would handle clean OS installations and then fail to boot consistently, Acer's BIOS-update download links are dead, disassembly was brutal (so much adhesive, so many annoying cable runs), and I finally just gave-up on it figuring something's not working on the motherboard. Would've been a cool little tablet PC; ran Linux really well...
...But then someone gave me an (also old) HP Stream - 14-ax010ca (ENERGY STAR) and despite a dual-core/single-thread CPU and a 32GB eMMC for storage, that thing is not bad at all when running EndeavourOS (Windows 11 was a different story) plus it comes in a delightful blue shell :) I think I may just carry that around for meetings to freak people out.
I was given a box of old video games with along with the Stream, and this is just what I'm choosing to keep from it:
GC:
- Baten Kaitos
- Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix
- Donkey Konga
- Pikmin
- Pikmin 2
- Star Wars Rogue Leader
PS2:
- Dirge of Cerberus
- Haunting Ground (!!!)
- Radiata Stories
XBOX 360:
- LEGO Rock Band
- Rock Band 3
