Oh the feeling when you find a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX Laptop in its case while tidying up the room and you had forgotten you even had it. And then it still works! And it has some DOS games on it! #retroconputing #laptop #pc #compaq #compaqlte #windows95 #vintage #retro

Around 1999 or 2000, I bought an old Compaq LTE 5300 laptop. It was outdated at the time, but it was fine for running Emacs and Nethack.

As of 2016, McLaren Automotive still used a Compaq LTE 5280 laptop as part of the system used to service the McLaren F1 supercar (also from the ‘90s): https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/3/11576032/mclaren-f1-compaq-laptop-maintenance

As of 2017, this was no longer the case; now they emulate the original software on a modern computer. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/a14453949/the-only-mclaren-f1-technician-in-north-america/
