You named this laptop after me, I feel special.
You are special always by brudda
They named a whole company after you
XD
Or Oppai dragon in Highscool DXD
No he didn't, your name is just generic. Like my character
Here again watching chill laptop restoration while eating ...chill vibes
And i while fasting. 😊
You always make me impressed with your work and editing skills, also the nearly dead laptops you handle, good job andrew
Thank you bro :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew hey im working on the same type of laptop and there is a red tint to the screen and its beepin its ass off at me, got any tips?
This is exactly why I’ve subscribed to your channel . Just enjoy watching this 👌
I like the fact this guy puts tech back out into the Wild. Instead of into the landfills! 💯💯💯💯💯
This is like watching "Pimp my Ride - Laptop Version".
@movie tasticboom Right? Man, that show was a long time ago, our age is showing 😂
SO PLS CAT AND ANDREW, WILL U PIMP MY LAPTOP??? LOL
Love how you give these old laptops (that usually just thrown) out a new life
Hey Andrew,
I'm a fan of yours and I've been enjoying your content since a long time now.
I am a laptop guy just like you and you are doing a great work by making these videos. Not a lot of people here at UA-cam make the content like yours.
I am studying cybersecurity and in this field, the use of operating system "Linux" is used very often.
So I wanted to suggest you to try using Linux in these old hardwares, as it can be better than older versions of windows and can perform modern tasks at a light form factor.
Thanks for always making good content.
Kudos.
My routine, after watching how JerryRig destroying any gadget and then watching Andrew how to repair.
Your videos accompany my sahur time in Western Indonesia Time.
I keep asking Jerry what he does with the electrionics he tears apart, &, if I can have them... He never replies! Bummer! Thanks
Me watching this on my laptop
My laptop:👀
Said Laabassi 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm literally crying. My god that looks great.
As a fellow old hardware reuse guy iam impressed of the amount of work you put in sutch old computer. Hat off
Thank youuu :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew question how do i know what cpu that compatibel with my 479 socket toshiba laptop ?
You're sooo patient in your projects
Dude has amazing and creative ideas, He turned this older laptop into a gaming laptop. Nice work man!
Thank youu bro :)
This one is by far the beautiest notebook restorarion on your channel. Good job! Great content as always and that red dragon with lights is astonishing
thanks Andrew for all this great videos
love from Algeria
After watching you for a long time i finnaly made my first restoration i was scared cuase i might make permanent damage to my laptop and it turned beautifly ive learned a lot from your videos thankyou for entertaining and inspiring us
I think the dragon logo should've been 2" at the most. I know it's what every real manufacturer does but it looks more clean. Still love the video, I always look forward to your uploads. Best soundtracks on YT!
I was waiting for your video from so much time but when you uploaded i was having dinner(INDIA 10 PM) so now i am watching it.
keep it up
Just gonna say that you're way better than those fake restoration channels. You know, the ones that find discarded electronics in the dump and try to fake fix them.
WOAH! I remember playing stronghold crusader when I was a lot younger. You brought back a lot of memories from that, thanks bro! Loving the video btw
You are like a magician, you turn old rubbish into something worth having.
10:24
Some real dedication there. Wow
Bruh... That Moment At 1:04, That fan sounded like my '89 Challenger.......
22:20
I expected you to turn down the lights and get the dragon to shine with the drop, that wold have been sick ❤
that's a great ass work, keep it up Andrew, much love ❤❤
Me: *sees the reflection on the screen at 1:23 *
also me: oh hey, that looks like Siren Heads body
this is actually better than those fake repair videos a lot.
I love the dragon light in the dark! Very original and special!! Luv it!
These videos make us feel good on our mid-tier laptops. :)
The internals of that laptop looks already clean for a 15yrs old laptop...the fan must be really bad in bringing air (& dust) to the internals..
Most people would have throw this laptop to the Garbage. But make it look better and stronger too. Great job.
the upgrade was not that much, but you did a great job. this a true restoration not like the other youtubers who replace almost all the components and chassis. Great Job man!
The transformations that you make in the notebooks are beautiful, you are an expert in this; Invest in it to make money with customers you are very good at what you do and the paintings are getting top !!! A pity that in this video Acer did not install Windows 10 Pro on it, just put an SSD and increase the ram that would be top !!!
This is more than upgraded,Old but Gold,i love the improvements,bro keep it up,man!!!! give you some love and respect,bro.
As always you have done an excellent job and special as usual. Love your videos always
Thank you bro :D
Congratulations for the work, Andrew! It is superb how you give new life for computers like these.
Omg are you kidding me... Diablo 🤯 you remind me of my young ages, so much memory with this game, I use to play with Paladin 😍😍😍
men you have good taste in music just found my head dancing to the music playing in the video
Aaahhhh, when vga ports was standard and laptop designs stays the same for newer models until trends changes. I got a similar acer from 2006 that has intel core duo cpu with 1 gb ram and 80gb of hdd with ati gpu... forgot what ati it was... but the laptop has overheating issues and I didn't know anything about laptops and computers back then and youtube was pretty much still in it's infancy in my country... Seeing such an old beast being resurrected here is pretty awesome :D
Really nice work. Reminds me of myself 15 years ago taking apart ThinkPads and painting them to give my daughter a lavender colored laptop. I really enjoy watching your work!
I still don't get it, why this man doesn't have 1 M subscribers?? His content is good, no Bullshit no clickbait.
Very cool, I like these Acer laptops and I’ve restored and upgraded one myself. It’s specs are Core 2 Duo T7200, 4GB DDR2 667MHz and 240GB SSD running a custom version of Windows 7
this laptop don't have an intel inside he has engine inside
Imao
I love these types of video, from old laptops to modded modern looking laptop.
My grandfather has this laptop lol and he used it from 2006-2012 and I played half life and other good old games on it. It's a slow laptop but the nostalgia keeps it alive !
Andrew, man i enjoyed every second of you restoring this Laptop, man i was bored and this video just chill me up, awesome work on restoring this oldy to a something enjoyable to look at, best wishes man, keep up your great videos bro
Lots of love from india ure videos are very good
ur absolutely a fabulous and creative !!
I've actually had the same laptop 15 years ago and now I regret selling it out after watching this video looool :)
Cat I love all your videos I haven't even watched yet I tell myself that it's going to be great! =)
I still have this same model in very great condition xD
Man, you played my favourite game (diablo 2), i'm so happy!
That mod looks absolutely gorgeous. I think a laptop like that can be used to run android x86
Thank you bro :D Yep, the Android X86 it will work perfectly
1:03 - This cooling fan is quiet like a dirt bike ! 😂😂😂
Impressive as always! Thanks for the video Andrew, idk but for me I find your videos relaxing and very chill.
Great work, regards from Panamá
Big fan of your work watch all your videos but must say one of the coolest looking laptop mods you have ever done👍 keep up the good work
love the mods and cleaning of dirty stuff
Please the name of that song at (21:55)? I know it's an NCS song but I can't remember which one.
Good done job!!! You make this obsolete acer a masterpiece.
My friend, i love you video's. They are really good and i really enjoy watching them. Keep up the good work and i am going to watch another amazing video of you :)
Thank you bro :D
This old acer remind me of mine aspire 5735. They weren't much back in the day but when it comes to gaming they sure were capable of running games that had high requirements back then without heavy impact on performance.
Really nice upgrade! Your videos have inspired me to look at my older laptops and upgrade them where required.
Also, if you need a replacement hard drive for laptop with IDE connector, IDE hard drives are relatively low capacity and now starting to be quite expensive. You can get IDE to mSATA converter on eBay for about £10, then fit an mSATA SSD. I will probably do this whenever I need to fit a new disk into an old IDE connector.
This thing screams: PIMP MY RIDE!!
So excited watching your channel, Restoration Old Laptop
This man is definitely good at what he does.
I think you should have used a Compton tape for the heatsink, it is not sensitive to high temperature, it is made to resist up to 400 °C. Have a nice day!
You should make a gaming store and sell PCs lol
Love the way you give the new life
Don't know if you answer me but watched your new video and congratulations to 200k on UA-cam
I love this video, this is my favorite video of the year
I like this. The red and black look great together. I think the dragon should have been smaller, but that's just my opinion. What did rigger me was you painting over the Acer logo on the back of the lid and model # on the bezel. But the machine looks way better than when you started.
Thank you bro :). actually I planned to make the logo smaller, but the plastic on this laptop is very thick and hard, not flexible. I afraid to not brake it because i don't have another case :D. But if i do this on the newer laptop, then that is a different story. The newer laptops have thinner and more flexible plastic, and cutting, modifying it will be much easier
hi i'm samuel from st vincent i love what you do i must say you have patience to strip a laptop to its very last and from memory fit it all back together wow i do a little for myself but not sure if i would ever reach your level i have a few laptops thats not working i'm going to practice on one of them you are an inspiration keep it up
I don't know why you video is so satisfying 😂😂😂
Hi Andrew i love your videos specially when you design new things plz make more videos like this.....
Thank youu :D I will do more mods and other restorations :D
21:06 you can fit an m.2 in there with an adapter. Even with IDE speeds it should be a night and day difference since an SSD will actually max out the IDE bus, unlike an HDD
Great job Andrew! The mod case With the dragon looks amazing i love these kind of mod vids. im totally subscribing
I see Andrew, I click
Excellent video Andrew! I love your channel! Keep it up! Take care, I send you a hug! Greetings from Argentina.
I m always waiting for your vedio.
That skin mod would be very nice if it's applied to any ultrabook. Love the dragon.
Really good laptop to mess with
Thank you :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew you're welcome looking forward for more restorations like this
@@nahpets2345 check his backlog of videos... There are true gems there
Why don't you paint the bezels black? That would have looked much better I believe. Otherwise awesome video bro👌
Great paint solution! Great quality
Thank you :D
That was the best build yet thanks dude for sharing
Nice repair job！😃👍
Although it's 1640, but I feel satisfied！
Stronghold? Really? Amazing!
Damn!!! So much effort in one video, i like the dragon glow, maybe i should try it on my old laptop
Te quedó increíble!! Saludos desde Colombia!!
What you've done is so great .. really .. i just kind of feel it's just a waste of time because no one would use this kind of laptops nowadays..
I just wish that someday you'll upload a video in which you upgrade an already powerful enough pc to a beast pc .. u got the skill and the imagination to build and upgrade a full option gaming pc .. i wish u consider this idea
Actually, install a light Linux distro, and you would have a very capable system for everyday tasks. You don't need updated specs to check social media, watch UA-cam (maybe not in HD, though) and use offimatic suites. In developing or third world countries, such a machine would mean a way for some to bridge the digital divide, somewhat.
I really liked your restoration videos like this and the great outcome it did on this old laptops jusy keep it comin 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very Informational Very useful for those who are interested in Hardware and repairing
Gracias Andrew! Hermoso trabajo, es inspirador! Seguí así..
Yup cat is the cameraman
1:05 *laptop transforms into car*
This laptop is perfect to use Linux.
nee geen linux maar windos 7
X2
AMAZING VIDEO DUDE. KEEP IT UP.
when you so Early that youtube broke lol
you make the best videos
love your video andrew , keep it up man 😄
You can't use a dual core on a Pentium M machine. The best CPU you can use is the Pentium M780. But this mod is very very nice :)
another excellent video, well done my friend!
