I had the super deluxe model and studied for two Master’s Degrees with it, taking classes and doing research. Generally, I had a peripheral screen connected as well. It worked perfectly for me and I still have it. Thanks for this!

This was the first computer that I "owned" (I was about 11 years old at that time), when my mom bought me a bundle kit of this laptop back in 2008. It included a 2GB USB drive (which was new to me) as far as I knew and used Windows XP as the OS. I had this thing for quite a while and used it for my hobbies, schoolwork, internet surfing, and even my very early YT work it up until around my freshman year in high school in 2013, when I donated it to my cousin. Yes it was slow and tiny, but it was very capable for my needs at that time.

I still have my HP Mini 2133 from when I bought it new in 2008. The memory is 2GB and I installed Win 10 32bit. Runs alright for such an old laptop.

The first run had some issues with bad solder at the factory and the CPUs basically de-soldered themselves. Had the motherboard in mine replaced a few months in and never had another issue over a decade later.

The Vista thing was that MS would no longer allow them to sell them with XP pre-installed because they were trying to force people onto their new OS. So they shipped with both Vista and XP install disks and just about everyone immediately downgraded to XP.

17:19 That glitching in my experience (with Intel shit on XP admittedly) is the result of the GPU driver's software loading itself. I found disabling the loading of the software from loading stopped it.

@@donvampa730 I like antiX. It is streamline, has some great tools out of the box and comes with window managers that will do just about anything a full desktop will with less overhead. MxLinux although a bit heavier on resources ran well on it too. Haven't upgraded it to the newest Debian 11 based version though. Another bug to be aware of is sometimes the video driver screws up after the system goes to sleep and you get a bunch of lines on the screen. It is a longtime glitch with the Via GPU. Just close the lid again till it sleeps and open it again and it basically sorts itself out.
