His restorations are good. He never forgets to clean the laptop with some eucalyptus oil.

This looks like something a lot of enthusiasts would love to see - the 8 bit guy in particular! Great find!

Working in a university after I graduated, I was allowed to take one of these home at night and on weekends. In the early 90's, this was cutting edge stuff. The actual concept of portable computing was still fairly new and it felt amazing at the time.

My goodness that is a nice looking Duo

Perfect way to end the week! The technological advancements we've made over the last 29 years is simply astonishing!

You make my stressful day of exam by another great restoration

Thanks for watching 🙂 One day I may also replace the capacitors (when I learn how to solder properly). If anyone has any info on replacing / repairing the battery, feel free to let me know!

I was honestly not expecting a laptop like that! It's amazing how technology has moved on from the early 1990s!

I love the design choice of Apple in the early 90's. Makes me teleport to some old university in the US and using the BBS, stuff like that makes me happy and your videos work like some sort of escapism for me so I'm happy to see new videos of yours whenever you upload them.

i love watching your restoration videos! it’s so satisfying to see old tech products being brought back to life.

My colleague at work had one of those. It was a technological marvel at the time (although those trackballs were pretty awful).

Made me smile seeing this restored and used, been a long time since i've seen these. Great work!

How amazing! It’s so cute to see this PowerBook Duo.

I remember stumbling across this thing when cleaning out our house long ago, and never thought much about it until watching this video and being reminded of it. I definitely would have loved tinkering inside it if I had the same amount of knowledge when I was a kid as I do now.

7 minutes 22 seconds without the eucalyptus oil, i was getting worried

I would like to congratulate you; throughout this video you have acted with determination, enthusiasm and honesty and for these reasons, all of France adores you.

Had a pair of these, along with the Duo Dock, back in the 1990s. Some of my favorites I've ever had.

Love these vintage Apple videos. You will always have my respect.

I always find your videos so satisfying to watch.

love it. keep up the good work

Bro you’re so close to 200k! Congrats! Can’t wait till you get there! (You’re a great guy)

I love watching your video I love retro tech its so interning to see all different types of tech from 200s and 90s I love it

yet another great restoration!

This was great, thank you!

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat. I’m old, so I spent many, many hours playing that game back in the mid nineties. So many fond memories. Great video!

Hello Psivewri i just got your channel membership you are awesome! i hope to watch your videos for many years to come :DD

This is one of the best channels around. Ancient tech is just really cool and its nice to learn about it!

Well done, as always - your work is inspirational - I have learned much - keep it up!

Love this video!! Crazy that you upgraded the hard drive with MicroSD!!

One of your best videos!!! This was so cool 🤩 thanks for what you do!!

Excellent video and a fun restoration. Thanks for sharing.

Cool creative video, great job!

Great job on the restore!

Nice work!

Best video yet! Such a cool laptop and dock

Great job man, respect !

thc goes really well w ur vids

I always loved this concept.

I like this channel , thanks for your efforts 👍🏻

amazing video, cheers from Brazil

That drive spinning sounds like Mr. Crabs running lmao

wow this brought back some good memories!! I was 8 years old when my father brought one of these home that sat in the lost and found at his job for years, I LOVED that thing, took it apart many times!! I was probably 7 when I first got it. Now I remember what got me obsessed with apples products

What a cool laptop and dock. Another cool video

Very nice restoration!

AMAZAING

Looks great!

Great video!

Wow looks good

Sadly I threw a lot of my Apple collection out before KZfaq existed, I really wish I had taken a lot more pictures of my kit! I still have this model though along with the powered dock & a 250 model. I might have to start my own channel!

This is awesome!

Great Job

The grey parts are yellowed too! They should be a cool blueish grey :) love the dock though. Imagine having a large hard drive and two NuBus cards in there! Desktop power at home and laptop portability on the go!

Awesome! I'm so glad the SCSI2SD worked! Did you know: The displays on the 68030 Duo line are swappable. If you want to make your 230 a color Duo, you can swap in the active-matrix color screen from a 270c. It'll be a frankenstein machine with no visible nameplate (since the 230 has its nameplate on the screen, and the 270c has its nameplate on the keyboard upper) Or, of course, if you find a 270c these days, you could restore that instead. 😂 Ooohhhh things I did in the early 2000s that I now regret.... Anyway, thanks for the video and the painstaking restoration! These were super cool little machines. Now all you need is the PowerPC version: the Duo 2300c. It'll fit right in your existing dock!

I love your videos!

You made my night I guess 😅😅😅

you are very good at this keep it up

I owned this back when it came out, and I absolutely loved it!

what an amazing piece from apple, cheers for the video. greetigs from nova scotia!

OMG. This is IT video! I will happily watch. 😊

Cool!!! And yeah, man. You can't have too many SCSI2SDs (or Floppy EMUs!) hanging around!

Just discovered your channel and love it, suuuuuubbed.

3:04 Nathan: the computer is working Computer: *sike*

cool vid man

I loved that "bruh" at 3:05

Great video! I love my 280c, probably my favourite Mac in my whole collection. Would love to get my hands on the dock. I have a SCSI2SD ready to install.

Definitely looks like a must-have for Action Retro.

Thank you for the links! I have a Powerbook Duo 2300c that I've been wanting to get working again for years. I already have the blank disks and external floppy drives. Fingers crossed!

The computer has some nice “trackpad”

This video is so cool.

Watching this video this is a amazing machine!

Nice to know someone is also working hard on a PowerBook restoration. Im currently working on a way to restore a PowerBook 190.

Nice to see you again, the best scavenger youtuber Psivewri.

I remember the duo & duodock- I had one ! Superb bit of kit, back in the day :-)

Também gosto muito de restaurar máquinas antigas . Parabéns ótima restauração 😁.

Yes i love your vids

Another nice video, you got a great piece of history for less than 50, you are lucky !

Great video

The DuoDock is awesome!

5:38 - Glad to see some good ol' Woolies cling wrap being put to good use

Really cool machine, found working one in our server room :D

Opening the box with a "Do you call this a knife?"- knife! 😄

That duo dock is pretty awesome 😎

For a moment the loud “bruh” when the error box sounded like it came from the Mac lmao.

Totally agree! 8-bit guy will contact you soon… I guess!! Thank you for the video!

You are the tech guy. You can fix things well.

great video - yeah, Chuck Yeager's air combat - It's a great day for flying or there's no second place in air combat ;-)

im happy to see you giving credit and links without being sponsored, sweet

Brilliant

Its never a psivewri video without some eucalyptus oil!

BRUH! never gets old

I love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀

There was the time (2009-2011) I admired all Apple devices... I got my first MacBook in 2009 - the black one :) Then in 2011 my first MacBook Pro, Ipod, Iphone, Ipads .... But sadly, being an engineering professional, I cant use it since then as all soft is windows or Linux based. But what i can really say - old Apple devices were much better then those we see now in Apple store (quality, feeling, assembly). Your restorations - I watched them all - you do the great job, giving them a new life again.... Thank you for good videos and good mood.

My first laptop was a PowerBook Duo 210. I loved that thing, and just how miniscule it was. Other than my G3-400 Lombard, all of my portable Macs have been the smallest available at the time.

I never forget those little PowerBooks! I was in 8th grade at the time.

Perfect Viedo to watch while I clean my own PC. #EucalyptusOilSquad

Nice!

3:03 LOLLL

the "bruh" sound is played at the most prefect bruh momento

Biggest dock i've ever seen, its amazing how far we have come in terms of docks for laptops, they are like the size of a pack of gum now.

Laptops have come along way since the 1990s. Some 1990s USA TV shows show kids using laptops running DOS or Windows 3.11
