#17: A Genius Laptop Design
CDs have gone by the wayside, but back in the day, they were considered cutting-edge technology. There was nothing fancier than having a laptop with a built-in, hidden CD drive. With a hidden CD drive, you could travel around without having to worry about a pesky computer tower. What a time to be alive.
This picture of an old Panasonic laptop has probably unlocked some deeply buried memories you didn’t know you had. These CD drives were kind of flimsy, so you got a dangerous thrill every time you opened it up. Would it work this time? Hopefully! Nowadays, all of our laptops have touch screens and high-tech touchpads. For some reason, it was way more rewarding to get hands-on, physically insert a CD, and click the trackpad.
