How many laptops do you own lol?

Families exist. I'm the "IT guy" for 3 people using laptops

[–] LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They are all my personal laptops from different parts of my past, that I just never threw away when I upgraded

If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

Shadow retirement fund

That's reasonable; I just wouldn't have called my wife's laptop my laptop I guess. It was either that or there was probably an interesting story behind it.

I end up with all the "broken" laptops my family replaces after they buy new ones.

I've got like 9 laptops. Active ones are my Linux one, work one (windows 11) and my wife's school one (windows 11). We both have win 10 desktops still.

2, though they are both quite old
