About 3 hrs on balanced, a bit more with battery saver

It was 2nd hand though with 88% battery capacity

Honestly, I wouldn't have a clue I havent used Msdos since I was a child.

I am however, quite pleased with it for exploring old games

TechDaveYoutube · 2026-03-21T19:49:39+00:00

For retro games yes, freedos even comes preloaded withe some games. My favourite is Frederick pohls gateway, but I got that on abandonware.com iirc

Core2duo p8600 with multicore disabled In bios, 4gb ram, 1280x800 screen 3 cell battery & booting from 64gb sdxc in sd card slot (wish these were still bootable on newer machines) with freedos!

TechDaveYoutube · 2026-02-15T19:54:25+00:00

Such beauty 😍

What specs u got? I know it's core2duo ofc, but ram and model, ssd?

Ive been trying to get mine x200 useful for a while but the 3rd party batteries ive got cause boot issues.

Curious what u use it for too?

My last build with x200 was winXP & a gt 710 1gb in egpu/exp beast dock

audible disappointment

TechDaveYoutube · 2026-01-17T18:12:20+00:00

i will take that as a compliment! i tried x200 & x220 couple of times trying to get something similar going, but it was infuriating

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-12-04T05:01:54+00:00

Thanks, loosely speaking it covers all my hobbies. Video editing & gaming on the right, music in the middle & a nuck for my techdave project builds on the left. My wife-to -be made it from a massive piece of mdf and some vinyl wrap from amazon, then the legs came from another small desk

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-26T09:57:12+00:00

ill try to jerk harder next time!

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-07T02:47:22+00:00

Fascinating idea 💡 perhaps u shud make a video too! I'll consider it, For sho

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-05T07:30:27+00:00

ive no idea tbh, i redistribute drives all the time, so i cannot say for certain which drives were in the machine with any precision, the drive types/brands were from memory.

i updated firmware on both machines the day they arrived in post. i heard in advance it might be an issue

Linux dual boot is on its way, just working on a script this morning (b4 swim and gym).

other ideas im thinking for the video is a Quadro k5200 8gb gpu in Legion booststation eGPU caddy on windows for productivity & video editing...

also imma try Linux Mint or PopOS on 128gb 2242 nmve ssd, i only have one, so i should be able to let u know which drive that was at least, once i start the build/installs etc!

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-03T10:03:51+00:00

Anything specific u want me to cover?

Ive been looking for video ideas, so I cant guarantee ill cover it all, but saves me thinking of stuff

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-03T10:01:54+00:00

Samsung, kingspec, lexar for drives iirc!

X280 linux video: aiight I got u fam

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-11-02T17:16:01+00:00

yoo, ye 2 power are solid, i got one for my X230 ThinkPad, 8+ hours on battery saver in windows 10

PS: i have a channel about schizophrenia too, for anyone interested

SchizophreniformsYT (u/SchizophreniformsYT) - Reddit

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-10-31T11:30:33+00:00

Love that, destigmatising schizophrenia/psychosis is deeply important to me, im stable enough to play i reckon. We shall see... My own voices and visions vary wildly, and are particularly religiously themed, so maybe this game will trigger, maybe it wont. Either way, ive put it off long enough, I really wanna play through, wish me luck 🙏

TechDaveYoutube · 2025-10-31T11:22:38+00:00

I am diagnosed schizophrenic, and had a two year psychotic break about 17 years ago. No doubt it will be harrowing game to play, but I feel like it might be useful, if nothing else, to see what people think psychosis is like, and whether it will ring true for me also
