Part 1: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/56156767

Okay so the 2nd computer is an Acer from 2010 or before:

  1. Probably between 15" to 17" LCD (big enough to comfortably fit the numpad)
  2. Rugged feel at the back with the Acer logo at one of the top corners but the power button isn't that huge one at the side like in some models I've seen while searching.
  3. Definitely had Ethernet and a more than a couple USB-A ports, with HDMI but actually not sure if VGA or not (I assume so considering the times). Def had a CD drive and an SD card port.
  4. Could have had smart card/external SATA port but it was blocked up, as if I got the model that didn't offer it.
  5. HDD with Windows Vista that I think was like 125GB, and it was either an i3 or i5.
  6. Canadian EN/FR keyboard layout on mine specifically if that helps.

Please help me find this laptop!

I had a laptop very similar this this. Acer aspire timeline X model 5830t-6486. I still have it although the motherboard is dying on it but I can send you a picture if you'd like

Searched it up and I don't think this is it, mine had a black plastic shell not cobalt aluminum
