I went through university with this thing. I used it when I was moving and didn't have a desktop. It served me well through two jobs, which involved running VMs and or multiple IDEs. This thing has carried me through rocky times. I did mythic raiding in World of Warcraft with it. It has climbed Table Mountain with me. It has toured the German countryside, and even trained with Yoda on Dagobah (okay that one is not so true). It has served me well. But it refuses to sit idle any longer.

Maybe you have a family member who needs a laptop for work, or you yourself have some use for The Trooper's impressive CPU and RAM (given its age).
I hope it serves the next person as well as it did me.

My dad is still running one of these, got him a replacement battery a year or so back to outlast loadshedding. Truly a trooper lappy, GLWS.
