This Ancient Work Laptop Lit Its Keyboard… with a Tiny Overhead Lamp

While today’s laptops boast fancy backlit keyboards and OLED screens, we just unearthed adinosaur of a work laptopthat used atiny overhead lightto illuminate the keys — like a miniature desk lamp glued to your screen. No glowing keys, no RGB, just a brave little bulb trying its best to help you type in the dark.

It’s clunky, heavy, and probably boots up slower than a microwave defrost cycle, but wow — the effort was there. It’s like discovering a steampunk version of a ThinkPad. This thing didn’t just compute. Itglowed with determination.
