Typing on a computer - my first laptop computer was an old used IBM PS/55 with (by today's standards) ridiculously low power. I don't even know what the rating for the CPU was, but the HDD was 40MB (yes, MB, not GB or TB) and came with 2MB (again, that really is MB, not GB) of RAM which had been upgraded to the machine's maximum of 6MB. I only used it for text (naturally - I don't think it was capable of anything else) and it worked well for me for a while. One thing about it was much better than new computers though - its keyboard. It had a keyboard with really good touch that was quite nice to type on. The short-throw, light touch keyboards on modern laptops can be nice to use when you get used to them, but for serious touch-typing with low errors, that old PS/55 keyboard worked much better. With super-light-touch keys, you have to (more than with longer-throw keys) monitor what you're doing.
