Compaq Portable 486 : Le laptop des années 90… avec abonnement à la salle de sport.
Le Compaq Portable 486 (1991) est l’un des derniers grands ordinateurs « transportables ».
Puissance d’un PC de bureau, architecture extensible, écran intégré… mais près de 8 kg à transporter.

A picture of a Compaq Armada M700. The LCD panel is not centered in the lid, leaving bevels of unequal sizes on the left and right of the display.
I bought a #compaq Armada m700 at the thrift store yesterday! It's a really nice pentium III laptop (1999 thin and light)
HOWEVER there's one terrible OCD triggering design compromise on this thing.
Why did it have to be this way Compaq... WHY?!

Linux is fast becoming viewed by some as an acceptable alternative to the Windows NT operating system. As such, Compaq now supports this operating system on many of its servers, workstations, desktops and portables. Many customers are using Linux to perform various functions throughout their corporation.
A ringing in endorsement of #linux by #compaq in 1999. Am excerpt from their operating system support document.

Martin uses a Compaq Contura 400c in the court room in "Primal Fear".
In "Cobra Kai", Johnny buys a Dell Latitude D630 from a pawn shop and uses the internet for the first time where he sees a Miyagi-Do advert.
In "Burn Notice", Barry and Sam use a Toughbook CF-Y7 to go through Brennan's phone for information and to convince him that Michael has emptied his bank account.

A 90s computer setup sits on a beige desk. It consists of beige small form factor PC underneath a CRT monitor, a beige Dell keyboard and beige mouse on a black mousepad, with two beige speakers on either side. The CRT is off, but the reflection of a standing light can be seen. In the background, pink insulation and wood studs can be seen in the unfinished basement.

Infographic titled “Tech Spec Tuesday – Compaq Portable.” The design features a blueprint-style background with blue and white panels. In the upper left, a photo shows the Compaq Portable computer — a beige, suitcase-style “luggable” machine with a built-in monochrome CRT display and detachable keyboard that doubles as the front cover. On the right, text reads: About this machine: “The Compaq Portable, released in 1983, was the first successful IBM PC-compatible computer. It featured full BIOS compatibility, allowing it to run MS-DOS software seamlessly. Its luggable form factor and legal cloning changed the PC industry forever.” A specification table lists: CPU: Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz Memory: 128–640 KB Storage: Dual 5.25” floppy drives, later HDD optional Graphics: Monochrome CRT, CGA-compatible Networking: Optional ISA expansion Notes: First true IBM PC-compatible clone At the bottom right corner, the text vintage.computer appears in white on a dark blue box.
Released in 1983, the Compaq Portable was the first truly IBM PC-compatible computer. By reverse-engineering IBM’s BIOS, Compaq made a legal clone that could run MS-DOS flawlessly, paving the way for the PC boom. #VintageComputing #Compaq #RetroTech #PCHistory #VintageComputer

A screenshot of the MadOnion.com System Info window shows system specs for a Compaq PC running Windows 2000. The CPU is an Intel Pentium III at 797 MHz (800 MHz), with an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500, 512MB of RAM, and motherboard model 0688h by Compaq. The tool version is 2.2.
A screenshot of the PCMark2002 Free results screen shows a benchmark with an Intel Pentium III at 800MHz. The scores are: CPU – 2168, Memory – 1481, and HDD – 996.
A second MadOnion.com System Info window shows the upgraded specs. The CPU is now an Intel Pentium III at 997 MHz (1 GHz), still paired with the GeForce FX 5500 and 512MB RAM. Free physical memory is listed as 386.52 MB. Motherboard info remains unchanged.
Another PCMark2002 Free results screen, now reflecting the upgraded CPU. The scores are improved: CPU – 2626, Memory – 1558, and HDD – 1000, indicating better performance from the 1GHz Pentium III.
That #compaqdeskproen #compaqdeskpro I showed? Got a CPU upgrade! Going from an 800MHz #pentium3 #p3 #pentiumiii to a 1GHz version got a 452 point (21%) increase in PCMark 2002! #compaq #pentium #piii #vintagepc #retropc #oldpc #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #windows2000 #2000snostalgia #coppermine

A beige IBM CRT monitor sits atop a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer, both part of a retro computing setup. The screen displays the early boot screen of Windows 2000 Professional, showing the “Starting Windows…” text with a horizontal progress bar made of small blue rectangles. Below it reads: “For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8.” To the left are a few jewel cases for CDs, and to the right is a Logitech speaker and a Mac mini is just barely visible. The background features pink fiberglass insulation and a curtain.
The same IBM CRT monitor and Compaq Deskpro EN are now shown further along in the boot process. The screen displays the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, featuring the Windows flag logo and the text “Built on NT Technology.” A loading bar near the bottom reads “Starting up…” with a copyright notice below: “Copyright © 1985–1999 Microsoft Corporation.” The glow from the CRT adds a soft light to the otherwise dim workspace. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, including the CD cases, speakers, and nearby Mac mini.
Oh, I forgot to show you some super nostalgic images of #windows2000 booting up! Yes, takes me right back! (and, between you and me? This computer's host name is Alpaca.)

A vintage PC setup shows a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer placed beneath an IBM CRT monitor, which is currently displaying the Windows 2000 Professional Setup screen. The setup is in the process of formatting a partition labeled C: New (Unformatted) with a size of 57,239MB, and the progress bar indicates it’s 51% complete. The familiar blue setup screen states: “Please wait while Setup formats the partition…” In front of the computer is a classic Dell QuietKey keyboard with gray and white keys, along with a generic beige two-button mouse resting on a black mousepad. A pair of Logitech desktop speakers is visible behind the keyboard on the right, next to a powered-off Lenovo ThinkVision monitor and another keyboard. The scene is set against a backdrop of unfinished walls with visible pink insulation, and the workspace has a cozy, retro-tech atmosphere. The CRT’s glow adds a nostalgic touch, capturing a moment familiar to anyone who installed Windows operating systems in the late 1990s or early 2000s.
Yep, I’ve got one of these too! It’s been a bit of a guinea pig for me, and has a dedicated video card in it (because I could). #compaq #compaqdeskpro #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #windows2000 #crt #90snostalgia #2000snostalgia #bluescreen #deskpro #compaqdeskproen

A question for everyone, but perhaps especially for IT professionals.
Why does the everyday keyboard still have a programmer's layout?
Specifically, for example, why is there still a large caps lock key in that awkward place?

Vraagje voor eenieder, maar mogelijk met name voor IT’ers.
Waarom heeft het dagelijkse toetsenbord nog steeds een programeurs indeling?
Specifiek bv, waarom is er nog steeds een grote caps lock toets op die onhandige plaats?

Compaq Armada 1520D (bottom left), -1590DMT (bottom right), and 1750 (top), booting into their respective operating system. (Windows 95 for the 1520, 98 for the 1590, XP for the 1750)
Compaq Armada 1520D (bottom left), -1590DMT (bottom right), and 1750 (top), sitting on the Windows Desktop with the default wallpapers
Compaq Armada 1520D (bottom left), -1590DMT (bottom right), and 1750 (top), sitting on the default wallpapers, but this time the 1750 is booted into Windows 98
The whole family of Compaq Armada laptops; 1520D, 1590DMT, 1750.
Now after thinking with them and finally getting all three in a working state - I have to figure out what to do with them 😅

One thing that is quite fascinating about the Compaq Armada 1500 series is that they have extremely reliable batteries. Like I have three of those now, and all of them still working fine after 27 years!

An old Compaq Armada 1520D, on the screen the Windows 95 setup
Installing windows 95 (again). This time on a gigantic 6gb harddrive (probably about the biggest one I can make this Armada 1520D accept)

Wow! -I came across this on a #REDDIT post of 6+ years ago...
A friend of mine also had this brand of #Compaq #Presario desktop #computer with #Predator image.
(from the REDDIT thread: ) "Stamped into an old Pentium gen 1 Compaq motherboard"
-Do other motherboards/makes also have Easter eggs?
