• "Beaker" is a Dell Inspiron 1420.  This computer was acquired 5 years after Camilla, and is intended as a smaller, lighter, more powerful replacement for that laptop.  Beaker is not, however, intended as a desktop replacement for Fozzie.  Rather, the goal with Beaker is to allow me to do software development, web browsing, and other relatively light work without being tied down to my desk.  Beaker is not intended for gaming or other highly processor-intensive work.  Due to this, and the fact that Beaker is a laptop, this computer will not go through upgrades at the rate that Fozzie does.  Still, Beaker is more than powerful enough to handle the tasks it is intended for, with room to grow.
• This computer was originally obtained December 2, 2008.
• This computer was retired on February 13, 2015, when it was replaced with Venus.
