IBM 300GL, unboxing and testing

Read in: IT 🇮🇹   EN 🇺🇸

Intel Pentium II processor, Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system (but the computer was born with Windows 98 or NT). E' abbastanza vintage questo IBM 300GL? It was sold from 1997 to 2000 and is even equipped with 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB of hard disk!

Quando parliamo di computer vintage, in genere pensiamo ai Commodore degli anni '80, come il Commodore 64, ad esempio. Oggi, però, passiamo ad un altro marchio e ad un altro periodo. Un IBM di fine anni '90!

Unboxing the IBM 300GL computer

When I receive a vintage computer, it is interesting to evaluate how it is packed for transport. This computer was packed very well and arrived safe and sound from transport!

In addition to the computer, I also bought an original IBM keyboard.

Turning on the computer

Finally the most interesting part of the video! The computer test!

Il computer si è avviato regolarmente con il sistema operativo Microsoft Windows 2000. Nel video, ho registrato anche i suoni all'accensione del computer... rendendolo un ASMR!
