It does power on and has Windows XP on it but the serial number on the bottom and the sticker on the wrist-wrest is for Windows 2000 Professional so at some point I will put 2000 back on it as it was the original operating system for this laptop.

Unknown Compaq Laptop Arrived Today
No idea what the spec of this little beauty is as it was not on the eBay listing, I know the Evo is a Retro range of Compaq Laptops so was happy to pay just £22.95 (including delivery) for this laptop and power supply. It was being sold by a charity on eBay so wasnt fussed at not knowing what the spec is it will either be a Pentium II or Pentium III (I think)!
