Found this at a car boot sale for £5, unfortunately there was no charger included, so it's untested at the moment, but it looks like it uses a generic 19v charger, so when I can be bothered to find mine I'll get it tested
It has a sticky label that won't peel off on top, and a logo that says SignalUp
The base of the laptop
I had to void the warranty
Once I got the vanity cover off, I could see lots of dust in the fan
Battery pack
Only the power socket on the back
VGA, ethernet, 2 USB, a socket I don't know what it's for, and a PCMCIA slot. Then another USB, optical drive, and a modem
This laptop is grubby, and someone has stuck labels on the keys, but a lot of them are missing
Of all the versions of Vista it could have, this is the worst, on the worst processor as well. I can't wait to boot this up and see how bad it is
Close up of the keyboard
The screen has cracks around the hinges
Update
The museum was donated another Acer 5315 locally
The worst version of Windows running on the worst processor makes for an interesting experience. Also, as with the above model, this one has little stickers attached to help the user use the computer
It's quite a chonky device
The bare minimum of ports show just how budget friendly this laptop was
The blanking plug really stands out here
The base of the laptop with model labels
Don't know if this is the original PSU
Linux Mint wouldn't complete the boot, it would get to the desktop, then hang, and the internal hardrive had been wiped. So here is the BIOS screen
