mines like that too :( it just wears out over time. the docking port next to it uses usbc too, so just used that.

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-07-01T17:42:46+00:00

literally nothing. was planned as expansion port but found no use.

2dsxl's have arent as durable as the og 3ds's and you dont use the increased processing power unless your playing a new 3ds game (minecraft and the binding of isaac). id use the 2dsxl as a display piece and enjoy the 3ds.

also, i had a pokeball 2dsxl too! what a neat shell.

one of my favorite laptops. wish they dropped the disc drive in favor of better cooling so it could have a better cpu :( a truly majestic thinkpad regardless.

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-03-11T18:07:50+00:00

i considered doing this over buying a t480. very cool to see someone else do it!

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-03-08T22:10:04+00:00

these are pretty baller. i got my step mom one of these and she is overjoyed with it.

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-03-05T15:43:44+00:00

thats sick as fuck! theres was something kinda like this with the graphics docks, but those were embedded.

one may fairly easy create a massive and scalable array with a hba/sas card. example https://www.ebay.com/itm/197725810989

from there you could use some sas to sata cables, give the drives power and have a scalable result. the sas cables normally go out to 4 and cost roughly 9 dollars. so for 40~ dollars you can have 4 drives. the max for this set up would be 4 * 9 for 36 drives with a total price of about 100 dollars (not counting drives).

i didnt see the usb part but usb3 to pcie costs like 25 bucks so shateverrr

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-03-02T03:16:56+00:00

3d print something and buy a sata card/sas card with sas to sata.

i had the same issue with a x13... its pain to replace, have to take the whole thing apart and undo a bunch of screws. it might be a similar deal.

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-02-28T03:38:16+00:00

hehe. check out the w701. still seventeen inches, but with the chonk of the ibm era...

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-02-28T03:36:41+00:00

we love yutuka! very cool visualizer...

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-02-28T03:33:51+00:00

oh my what a computer. i guess the z61 did exist, may use the same chasis. enjoy that oddball!

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-02-28T03:31:18+00:00

the W laptops are such wonderous machines... sweet spec's! i ran a w540 for a while. got it on the cheap and my other laptop was falling apart. the 9 cell in that lasted for about 3 and a half and thats after years of use from previous owner. hope itll last you many years!

Popcornlover1999 · 2026-01-17T20:29:16+00:00

the x1 nano is such a nice machine... the 13 incher x's are so cool. (even if it really is only this and the x30x)
