The Lappy 486.

The Lappy 486 is Strong Bad's third and current computer, and is manufactured by Compy, Inc. It replaced the Compy 386 after it was infected with 423,827 viruses and shotgunned by Bubs.

The Lappy 486 has a more modern email program with a subject line, a reply pane, and easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. However, when Strong Bad clears the screen, all of it disappears and he continues typing.
