HP's compact Compaq

| Performance, as you may guess, was adequate but not great. Startup was slow. 
| Typing a document was fine, as was browsing a simple Web page, but once a 
| page got busy there were noticeable pauses. Windows Vista is probably too 
| demanding an operating system for this type of machine; I suspect a Linux 
| configuration would be livelier.

| Windows Vista models with faster processors.
