the first laptop I bought with my own money after college back in 2010-2011. Needed one for work, so I "splurged" on a $600 ASUS laptop. The battery tanked around the time the 1-year limited warranty expired, so I had to keep it plugged in for nearly the entire time I had it. It was slow as hell (no SSD) and weighed a ton. That POS met its fate to an e-waste recycler around 2014.

Another regret is my first Apple computer. A 2014 Mac Mini that replaced that Asus laptop. 8GB of ram and the slowest "hybrid" HDD drive. I hated using it so much until I figured out how to boot it off of an external SSD. Then I started to understand why people like MacOS.
