Why NOTEBOOKS back then were better | Acer TravelMate 220 | The Idea of Technology

Here we go and welcome to this nearly 20 year old notebook from @acer. It is funny how notebooks have changed over the time and ultrabooks became the new standard. But with this form factor you get some tradeoffs. Versatility, upgradebility and sustanability are the biggest reasons for bigger notebook with expansion ports. Back in the days the Acer Travelmate 220 was average but now it is king of easy access ports.
Have fun and leave some feedback if you like.
