The Acorn Electron ticked almost all of the low cost computer boxes, a solid keyboard, a tried and tested CPU, a great BASIC and a hungry audience, but it just didn't catch a break against the strength of the ZX Spectrum sales and missing its Christmas release date cost it dearly. That's not to say we shouldn't give it some TLC though. In today's restoration we revive it inside and out in a joint effort to take this computer from Trash to Treasure.

Today we go back to 1992 and try to bring an Apple Powerbook 160 back to its former glory. Part of Apple's first laptop range this deserves some TLC rather than ending up in landfill so lets see what we can do.

the Toshiba Libretto was the smallest, full fat Pentium PC of its day. Part of a range launched in 1996, today we take a look at it, see if it worked and consider just how far we've come with portable devices since the '90s.

● Description
Can we really use an Amiga on a modern monitor for as little as £15 / $20? Scan doublers taking the 15khz signal of the Amiga up to the 31khz supported by modern monitors can easily cost £100 or more so a cheap solution would be more than welcome. Lets test it out.
