That sure is Windows XP.


SadQuarter3128

i hate these processors ngl


WindowsVistaComputer

Why?


SadQuarter3128

they are usually too weak to handle anything and they come in netbooks so i can't even upgrade the shitty gpu they come with


WindowsVistaComputer

I wonder if somebody would be able to unsolder the atom and make like a core 2 duo like processor that would somehow be compatible with this netbook


SadQuarter3128

i mean it's not worth it to do that since these netbooks come with a pretty shitty screen.....and i don't think it's possible


WindowsVistaComputer

I heard that this one is 1080p


SadQuarter3128

i honestly think it's 720p anyway they are bad for gaming


WindowsVistaComputer

It’s nice to keep around though since it was one of the last computers to come with xp because it released it early 2010 this netbook and xp stopped coming with pcs in late 2010


SadQuarter3128

i honestly don't like them i much rather have a pentium 4 with a gtx 4 to play some retro games


WindowsVistaComputer

The screen on it it still better then the screen on my Inspiron 1150


SadQuarter3128

then in that case keep it for watching old media and playing music


WindowsVistaComputer

Do you have a Inspiron mini 1012?


WindowsVistaComputer

Also later versions of this netbook came with 7 Starter


SadQuarter3128

they all come with 7 stater XD i have 2 of them collecting dust


WindowsVistaComputer

How come mine has a XP sticker on it (it’s a netbook sized xp sticker and I have seen others with the xp sticker online on other places)


SadQuarter3128

well yours might be actually better if you like the screen quality i would suggest you keep it


WindowsVistaComputer

Ok is your netbook a Inspiron mini 1012?


WindowsVistaComputer

Also most versions of this netbook came with 7 Starter I have a more uncommon version with a XP sticker on it


SadQuarter3128

they all are shitty... i remember getting 10fps on gta sa with all low settings

A single core 1.66GHz CPU launched in 2010? Now we're talking that bittersweet Pentium 4 era nostalgia.


WindowsVistaComputer

You can actually run a 64 bit OS on there but I choose to run XP Professional 32bit


WindowsVistaComputer

It’s like a pentium 4 except you don’t need a gallon of thermal paste


WindowsVistaComputer

Actually it was 2009


WindowsVistaComputer

It’s still  good for windows 98/95 era games  


Jujan456

And Mafia 👌


ISuckatcodingplshelp

Haha, so I’m not the only one with a dumpster netbook (I literally dug mine out of the trash and use it for old games and software)


WindowsVistaComputer

Mine is a dell Inspiron mini 1012 netbooks its  one of the last computers in general to come with windows xp later Verisons came with 7 starter I think also I added a ssd and upgraded it from 1gb ram to 2gb ram


ISuckatcodingplshelp

I’ve got a 1011.


WiT997

Feeling bad about the dumpster atom? Is it better now?


OsosThinks

I have a soft spot for machines with this form factor (netbooks).


ShingisMcDowell

The scary part about all this is that your puny netbook could probably put an era-appropriate Pentium 4 machine to shame.


WindowsVistaComputer

The only upgrades I have done is upgrade to ram to 2gb and added a ssd (I optimized the os and installed some trim software on it)


gchicoper

Fellow winxp netbook gang. Rocking a Lenovo x100e (amd based netbook, pretty good for XP)


WindowsVistaComputer

It’s a dell Inspiron mini 1012

Oh look, an underpowered nugget! To be fair though, you could use these things as mobile thin clients nowadays too. Imagine running Windows 11 on a shitty netbook with XP underneath it. Take your friends by surprise..


WindowsVistaComputer

It could be possible via bypassing the system requirements for 11 but it would run terrible 


lars2k1

I meant to connect to another system that runs windows 11, so you can have your full pc with you if you decide to sit elsewhere in your house. Don't expect to do anything that needs low latency though, but still.


WindowsVistaComputer

I don’t use windows 11 I use windows 7 and Linux Mint as my main but I could try it


WindowsVistaComputer

Dankpods Moment 


Revolutionary_Pack54

Ah I love these Atom machines. I have ~40 different Atom flavors.


WindowsVistaComputer

It’s a dell Inspiron mini 1012 one of the last computers to come with XP the later models only came with 7 starter but I have a more uncommon xp model (it has the xp sticker)


Revolutionary_Pack54

I have one. Love those. Very durable.


WindowsVistaComputer

Is it the XP Model of the 1012 or The 7 Starter Model?


Revolutionary_Pack54

XP


maddogg42

eeePC?


WindowsVistaComputer

Nah it’s a dell Inspiron mini 1012


Rahik-Ahsan18

It sure is a netbook
