Should you get a vintage laptop for retro gaming?? - Compaq Presario 1692 - Super Socket 7 Laptop

This is featuring an AMD K6/2 Processor and ATI Rage Mobility M1 2D/3D Graphics.
I’ll be checking out the market context of laptops and PC’s in 1999 as well as exploring the features of the Presario 1692 in Windows 98SE and MS-DOS.

We will then go over the pros and cons around retro laptops from this era and while you might want to think twice before diving in.

It’s a bit of a lengthy look and discussion, but hopefully you find it interesting!

As always I’d love to hear your feedback and nostalgic memories down below

Errata:
17:01 - I had some text showing the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 for the Presario 1500 series laptop. It's actually the 7500. I think I had the 9000 on the brain from the Latitude D600 shown earlier :-)
