This unexpected functionality offered MoNoRi-Chan a playful and nostalgic way to unwind and enjoy his downtime.
 
Transition to the [[Tech:Thinkpad X1|ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3]]:
 
As MoNoRi-Chan's needs evolved, he eventually transitioned to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3, driven by the need for Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. The new laptop met his expanding requirements while still maintaining the performance he valued. This upgrade marked a new chapter in his tech journey, demonstrating his commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
 
Passing the Torch:
 
MoNoRi-Chan's Surface Pro 4 continued its journey even after its role as his daily companion came to an end. The device found its way into the hands of his friend Professor Atts, who could potentially choose to pass it on to another friend, Paoshinoda, as an apprenticeship tool. This gesture reflects MoNoRi-Chan's thoughtful consideration for the consequences of each decision, fostering a culture of resourcefulness and camaraderie.
 
Conclusion:
 
MoNoRi-Chan's Surface Pro 4 transcended its role as a mere device and became a vessel for curiosity, academic pursuits, and gaming nostalgia. Its journey through MoNoRi-Chan's university era and beyond highlights the intertwining of technology, personal growth, and the power of adaptation.
