List of old electronics the droid is more powerful than

[streetkid]

I think it would be cool to get a list electronics that the Droid is more powerful than. Not necessarily modern electronics. But older ones that would help people gauge the power of this tiny handheld device.

For example, its more powerful and has more memory than my first desktop, an AMD k6-2 350mhz with 64mb of Ram.

How does it compare to a ps2? or an xbox1? things like that

Just a thought, interested to hear what ya'll come up with.

 

[bdbraaten]

Certainly more powerful then the first desktop computer we had growing up.

Specs:
dual speed (4 or 8 megaherts) 8086 processor
20 mb hard drive
256 kb ram
4 color crt monitor.

I laugh about that computer looking back, my dad actually claimed "We'll never fill a hard drive that big"

 

[Big Cam]

Damn, I thought you already had a list.

This will be interesting to see.

Obviously better than any of the earlier game consoles. Especially the ones it can emulate.

 

[bigthinker]

For sure the Sony Walkman (1986) :motdroidhoriz:

 

[Guchi]

my first desktop was a 486sx 66MHz, 16mb ram, 200mb hard drive. so................
it was kick ass though

Given that my first hardware consisted of an Apple ][e and an Atari VCS (before it was renamed 2600), I'm not surprised the Droid's specs kick their butts. Heck, I think even my old RAZR did.

 

[gruve]

Mine was Apple IIc, first PC was 486DX 33mhz.

 

[RW-1]

Radio shack TRS80 (Didnt own it)

Hell, just a plain old 8088 processor would be knocked around by the Droid ...

I had a sinclair ZX-81, then upgraded to a TI-99
First PC was an xt with dual floppy drives (5 1/4's)
First PC with non-removable storage was a 286, 640K of ram, 40 MB HD and DOS 4.0.1 (the newest version), cost $1700 new.

i have a dinosaur of a HP sitting on a desk at the house.. we don't use it, it's just sitting there. specs:
windows 98 SE
128mb RAM @ 100mhz synchronous
20gb HDD
and an Intel Pentium III, 32kb cache (which i think roughly equates to "slow", by most accounts.)
i think 13" screen, the bubble kind, about the size of the first iMac.. i often ponder how difficult it would be to transform into a fish tank...
top-of-the-line CD burner! 4X write speed (eeps!)
polk audio (that attached to the sides of the monitor)
2 UBS ports

you guys are jealous.

i also have a REALLY old acer, but it's hiding from the mammoth HP in a closet somewhere...
