They keep this 20+ year old laptop around because it has a serial port and every now and then that comes in handy.
You can't really see it in the picture but the laptop is pretty thick and heavy.

In shockingly good condition too!
Though if you wanted to part ways with it, you can pick up an FTDI USB serial adapter for cheap. Though if it has a parallel port, hold on it it. Parallel ports USB adapters are just printer adapters and don't work for general parallel port use.
Yes I was surprised too! It runs smooth and physical condition is great. The battery is dead tho haha
And I think it doesn't have a parallel port unfortunately.
