1:55 Blue led was a new thing. Users were used to green and amber. 2:35 Far as I know, only a few models/makes added that many formats to a laptop. The base models had no reader. Some models only had full size SD that also can read MMC. A minority had that 22/51-in-1 reader. Mid-range desktop pc cases had such reader.

22:52 The fact that the drive is still alive after that huge amount of hours is still funnier considering Deskstars were nicknamed "Deathstar" back in the day. I suppose that was with older models and by that time they got things right?

I like this case style. This was my family computer when I was in middle school, but I think was Socket FM2+. I don't remember which CPU or how much RAM it had, but it ran Minecraft and flash games decently well

Wow this is like the EXACT computer my parents had growing up lol

Thumbnail is so fire

My first computer was also one of those inverted HPs, it was even from the same era, but with an e2160

i found a a pavilion like this one 2 years ago it was beaten people tryed to smash the thing it had a amd A6 cpu and 2 or 4 gb of ram and a 2tb hardrive

upload that video it would be cool to see the full mission involving this pc

Hello, those HP computers weren't that bad at all, I have 4 myself, but different model, HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF. Linux is running on two of them, on the other two Windows 11, Cheers.

Cool

We had a machine like that once upon a time. Nice video. Out of curiosity, what do you mean when you say the bios is laggy "because of the harddrive?" I wonder how that could happen unless the bios is somehow reading data from a system partition. It didn't occur to me that this machine could even have UEFI.

From past experience when some hard drives are problematic/failing in any way it could cause the BIOS to get delayed while trying to detect it. But I haven’t tested it with this one and it’s probably just a quirk of this computer.

good

I owned several and hate that bulging piano black faceplate that screams "consumer slop"
