I got a new retro laptop, IBM Thinkpad R50: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R51
Installed Win XP SP2 and found the drivers on the same site (great, thanks guys!)

R50 or R51? LCD size and resolution? (Or better yet - what is the 7-character model number?)

Most likely, it can be a reasonable retro-gaming laptop for early XP gaming. You may even be able to get Win9x/Me on it, but drivers can be a little bit of a pain.

R51, my mistake.
LCD 15" TN 1024*768 65MHz
Intel 855PM chipset + ICH4-M
99HBG33 -- identifies as R50 though, prolly the family?

Banias 1.6GHz (planning already to replace it with a Dothan 755 - 2 GHz).
Ram is plenty at 512MB

Lan is Intel pro 1000 + 21003B wireless, not bad.

And it doesn't come with the sticky coating of my P-III T22 😀
