How many laptops do you own lol?

Families exist. I'm the "IT guy" for 3 people using laptops

They are all my personal laptops from different parts of my past, that I just never threw away when I upgraded

If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

That's reasonable; I just wouldn't have called my wife's laptop my laptop I guess. It was either that or there was probably an interesting story behind it.

I end up with all the "broken" laptops my family replaces after they buy new ones.

I've got like 9 laptops. Active ones are my Linux one, work one (windows 11) and my wife's school one (windows 11). We both have win 10 desktops still.
