Compaq is to HP as eMachines is to Gateway - the el cheapo brand.

Time was when Compaq was a separate company and even occasionally built decent computers, including my very first notebook - which turned out to be, in hindsight, my first 'netbook' too - the Contura Aero. But hey, that was 'way back in the Computer Bronze Age and when Compaq offered 2 year warranties.

Now, its the brand sold by HP as its Big Box consumer (read: "I've never had a computer before and I don't know what it does or anything about that stuff. Anything cheap I can try out?") brand - cheap and nasty, but if (when) it breaks, you won't be blaming HP, but Compaq.

Jeez - you might as well buy a Packard Bell. ]]>Dec 22nd 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/
Good for them... they are selling the same ways as the soap manufacturers ...

And both products are great on the hands (The keyboard on the mini is the best out there).

Everyone says, "this would be perfect if they stuck an atom processor in it"

So they stick an atom processor in it, but reduce the screen res to be the same as every other netbook, and ditch the sweet aluminium case.

Just give us the original machine but with the atom processor, stop gimping all the other sweet features. Who cares if it pushes the price up a bit, it'll still be a great machine. Argh!]]>Dec 23rd 2008 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/
Of course has they stuck with Linux and not sheepishly did what M$ demands then anything is possible. However customers like the familar XP environment, for good or ill, and thus in one swoop Redmond has cripped the screen res on netbooks until they get fast enough for Vista/Windows 7.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/Dec 23rd 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/hp-compaqs-mini-700-now-on-sale-in-europe/Dec 23rd 2008 5:11PM
