Thanks for your comment. About me not having as deep of an understanding as I "claim" to have. Laptops are my hobby, not my career, but it would seem that is a foreign concept to you.

"Dude, all are modern operating systems, it's not rocket science. Also, the "native" argument is BS. Native OS means that the OS was specifically designed for a set of hardware components, which is again untrue given there has been a wide range of hardware that works with a wide array of OSes. That argument might work if you go back in time enough decades, when systems were truly tailored for their hardware, but after the widespread adoption of home computers, everything tried to be as compatible as possible. There are no "shenanigans" involved. I cannot criticize your enjoyment of laptops, everybody has preferences, but most of your arguments demonstrate you do not care for understanding technology as deeply as you want us to believe."

1. I guess Windows 2000 is modern then? Or XP? Or Vista? Hell, Windows 7 came out in 2009! Windows 11 came out 12 years after, and by then hardware shifted enough that it would make a difference.

2. Native OS = Whatever OS the device shipped with. My X220 shipped with Windows 7, so it runs Windos 7. It does in fact matter because some issues can present, such as Windows 10 and 11 not having Intel HD Graphics drivers, or the GMA950 in my X61 being limited to DirectX 9.0c and being a WDDM 1.0 meant for XP /. Vista

3. Love the contradiction, by arguing against my points you are criticizing my enjoyment.

So now that I've "explained" my reasoning, what now? Want me to give them away? Sell them for cheap? Throw them in e-waste? Run them over with my minivan? Give them to you since you "understand" and I "don't understand" what I'm saying?
