ASUS K53E-BBR5 / Laptop / Acquired 24 Jan 2020

My mom ended up upgrading to a new laptop, and gave me her old one. This was at a point where I already had a staggering number of computers, so I didn't have too much of a use for it. That is, until 2022, when I found out it's my only computer capable of outputting bizarre resolutions over VGA without crashing. As a result, I currently have it connected to my Amdek 310A monitor by simply hooking the VGA signals up to the appropriate MDA ones. After adding in a PS/2-to-USB adapter and my Model M keyboard, I now have a pretty convincing "fake IBM PC" setup.

This laptop was previously named "NoteBlock".
