Struggling out of Jusco Tai Po loaded with shopping, I was stopped in my tracks by prominent signage re an HP / Compaq " box "
celeron d 3.3 something
512k mem
60gb HD ( I think )
blah blah blah the rest ( I am not mentally retentive of the techi stuff )
HKD 2,999.
Just the box so I was told. MMM says I. Very nice price. Especially as its HP ( branded ) / Compaq ( case design ).
Then I saw the OS.
Vista Home Basic
Is this fools gold? I am sure I have read, even here, that to have anything less than a " pimped " system is reckless if not foolish . Quote " akin to running your favourite sex toy on cheap Chinese batteries ".
Yes, of course its in line with the MS recommended build specs but then again they said you can run XP on a pentium 3 I think. Maybe you can, but would you want to?
Anyway - Fools Gold or Gold ?
