HP moved the Compaq brand to Europe several years ago, and now is bringing it back to haunt the US once again.

HP's latest machine, the Presario CQ1-1020 All-in-One desktop PC is an Intel Atom-powered machine, running on a D410 single core 1.66GHz processor alongside an integrated GMA 3150 graphics chipset, the ability to hold up to 4GB RAM (waste ½ GB on a 32bit OS) , a 160GB hard drive, a DVD burner, a built-in webcam, microphone, Wi-Fi connectivity, eight USB 2.0 ports, a 6-in-1 memory card reader, and an 18.5" 1366 x 768 16:9 HD widescreen display.
Strangely enough, it runs on Windows XP Home Edition (◄ WTF is that?) which we thought were extinct like dinosaurs, as most manufacturers have already moved on to Windows 7. The Compaq Presario CQ1-1020 will retail from $429.99 upwards.
