Now this takes us back! 💻📀 The Dell Latitude LS. Released in 1998 and running Windows 98 like an absolute champion 👏

Originally priced at approximately £1.8–£2.5k, that’s around £3.5-£4.9k in today’s money. Back when business laptops meant chunky docks, CD drives, serial ports and the occasional battle with a PCMCIA card 💾📡

These were the machines powering offices as email and the internet started changing the way businesses worked. No cloud storage. No Teams calls. No USB-C. Just solid business computing⚡

Still, a brilliant reminder of how far technology has come...

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 | Your responsibility doesn't end when IT equipment leaves the office. The journey of every redundant device should be managed from collection through to its final destination.

That means knowing where equipment is, how data has been removed and what happens next. Whether devices are refurbished or recycled, every stage should be recorded so there is a clear audit trail. A secure IT asset journey protects sensitive information and gives organisations confidence that redundant technology has been handled correctly.
