Yeah CZcams works pretty well, one thing though (and I'm not sure if they fixed it or not, haven't used it in months now) is VoIP sites like Meet will not work, maybe it's a Windows XP limitation, not sure if it works for Windows Vista though.
The best Browser for Windows XP atm is Mypal version 68.12.5b (The latest version as I’m typing this comment) it’s based on Firefox Quantum and it runs surprisingly well, CZcams playback absolutely works on Mypal compared to Articfox However, keep in mind that version 68 is quite unstable and it could crash sometimes when doing logins on other websites
@@lefteris.adamou.1 the answer is don't use XP, it's completely outdated and if you have a 64 bits capable CPU you are also leaving performance on the table. Generally, Chrome is a lot more powerful, and allows the use of the H264ify extension, which will make CZcams playback a lot easier. It will prevent you from watching in more than Full HD resolution, but on old hardware such as Core 2 Duo laptops, you're more aiming for 720P.
7:31 MyPal, pretty decent, used it on Windows XP and most sites loaded and work well, including CZcams!, It's based off of Pale Moon, which itself, is based on Firefox (IIRC)
I tried MyPal on my old XP laptop....still sucked even though it has 2GB of ram...I tried a number of so called XP working browsers and none of them actually worked well enough to use..really dissapointed...The CPU is a Celeron 2.8.....it has Radeon 9000 graphics...not great but should work..yet it's so very very slow..to the point it's pretty unuseable.
I like that there is little to no intro, I love it when content creators do this, straight to the point, keeps it simple and entertaining at the same time. Love your work
You can still buy enterprise laptops like that, but be ready to pay a lot, but to be fair laptop like this old one in video was also very expensive new.
Surprisingly modern looking laptop for its age. Only a few things really give it away aside from some stylistic things, obviously the serial port. The keyboard is of an older style but honestly kinda prefer it over the modern chiclet style. The bezel is surprisingly thin but most modern laptops have the display and bezel all behind a smooth glass or plastic surface rather than the visibly raised portion. Otherwise it's just a little on the thicker side, but otherwise it's kinda hard to spot that it's so old.
yeah worst part about my current and first high end laptop is the keyboard. i miss a lot of keystrokes in this dumb chiclet style, like i press the key and it doesn't register. ironically, both the trackpad AND the keyboard were best at my lowest end laptop from 2009. they were just perfect.
@@petemiller2598 you can occasionally still find serial ports on more industrial laptops. :P but honestly I kinda prefer the flexibility of USB when it's implemented well. A lot of those old ports were limited, and very fixed to specific system resources so literally only could have 1 or 2 or whatever of any of them before things become incompatible with most software.
I've always liked your videos , you always clean and make things look cool and brand new, damn after i cleaned my old laptop after years of use it looked brand new again thanks :)
6:21 Are you kidding? You cleaning and refurbing tech is the main reason why I subscribed to this channel :) There's just something so satisfying about seeing old hardware getting a good scrub and booting up...
Seeing how easy it was to disassemble is insane. The battery, harddrive, disk drive, and ram were so easy to access, and even the cpu is upgradable? The fan held up great as well. Sad that nobody designs stuff with care like this anymore. I would much rather have a thicker laptop with modular design and lots of ports like this.
I used to have a pile of these i brought out a hp repair guy in Victoria. pretty much all of it is gone now but i can put you in touch with the guy who picked up my old spares.
Hell yeah, nice machine. My Dad used to have an old Compaq from ~2001 which was an absolute chungus. I used it to play Warcraft 3 all the time. Such memories...
Great watch. For XP I've used Opera as a browser, their website offers a separate version for the browser for XP/Vista. I've also heard of others such as Chameleon.
Ah it has been a long time since the last budget XP eBay laptop. Its these videos that inspired me to save these old machines and give them a second chance :p
Nice salvage and resurrection of a great Windows XP era laptop! Not surprised that the battery wouldn't hold a charge! As for Windows XP web browsers, there really isn't much of a choice nowadays. I always try MyPal (based off Pale Moon/Firefox) whenever testing a Windows XP era system.
When I saw that thumbnail I was like "is that a Compaq Evo N610C!?" Because I have one with a broken DC input charging port sitting dusty on my shelf. A great video and a good find for $15 good sir.
Not sure on which browser will play videos on older computers, but I copy and paste links into the standalone SMPlayer which has settings to tweak things to run on slower hardware. The interface is highly customisable too, plus I think it works with the Broadcom video adapter that can be found for approx $15. SMPlayer has a separate linked CZcams browser SMTube but I never use it. I simply copy links into the playlist on SMPlayer.
That "trackpad and trackpoint combo" is totally normal on workstation laptops even today. My 2017 Thinkpad had it and my 2020 Dell that I have now is also having it. Extremely powerful PC with an Intel Core i7 9750H, 32GB DDR4, 1TB Nvme SSD and of course a dedicated GPU (some AMD one, I don't know which one as this is not from a gaming series, some workstation card). It has a 180W "travel" power brick and 240W for home use... Totally crazy. However what I wanted to say is that such workstation devices that companies often give to their developers and so on always have this, this is nothing from the past at all.
I've had one of these since November 2013. I also got it from eBay. It's pretty much been my main Windows XP machine since then. It didn't come with a hard drive so I used one from another broken laptop I had. I also used the RAM from that laptop since my Evo N610c only came with 128MB of RAM. It looks like yours has the 1400 x 1050 screen, mine is only 1024 x 768. It came without the trackpad and pointer nub cabling, so they don't work. So it has to be used with an external mouse. I intended to fix this but never got around to it. The laptop still works great to this day and I still use it fairly often. I have tons of stuff on it since I've owned it for nearly 9 years. It's a great machine and one of my favorite machines in my collection.
I still got my Acer Travelmate 291 around from 2003. Upgraded it as far as it could but in the end it couldn't hack it. Since Raspberry Pi 4B now can run win 10 (well, with a few bugs) I've been thinking about putting an RPi in it. Should make for a fun little project
I got a Dell inspiron e1505 from ebay. It was the cheapest one, and after plugging it in, the motherboard lasted 5 seconds before it put any power adapter into overcurrent shutdown.
I actually had this laptop, and used it for quite some time. Biggest issue when used with Linux was graphics (old ATI, which was no longer supported for any decent graphics acceleration, and thus it no longer run browser well, or decoded video from the web correctly. Surprisingly - adobe flash played youtube videos pretty decently, while it was still available. Keyboard was one of the better ones. And it was a tank. Had soldered in usb wifi to the connector on the lid.
7:35 There are add on's for Firefox anyhow (think they support multiple browsers), CZcams redux, old CZcams are two, very good for older systems , also an add-on that makes CZcams use the graphics card more (long story on how).
Pale Moon seems to be a pretty good browser along with Opera for Windows XP today. I feel like I need to send you a copy of Vice City now as I would love to see that game being tested in your videos. 😁
asl always great review and outboxing Psivewri, would love to see you install MicroXP on it if you can find a clean copy of it. I think it would run better with that OS.
I've got Pentium III laptop that looks *very* similar (likely an earlier model in the same line). Excellent screen for its era at 1400X1050 and an ATI Mobility Radeon. It's running Win2k and I keep it around as a good little retrogaming machine. Oh and its original battery still manages about 2.5-3 hours of runtime.
You maxed out the RAM, though, why didn't you install an SSD at the same time? It would have greatly sped up the system. Also, this Compaq laptop would be a great candidate for a 32 bit version of a lightweight distribution. Great videos!
Ram alone fixed many performance related issues. Not really worth putting in an SSD in a laptop like this (although I've now got a few IDE to MSATA SSD drives)
You may be able to revive that battery by putting it in the freezer. I have that exact same laptop and my battery was stone dead, chucked it in the freezer for a day and then plugged it into the laptop and let it charge? Works fine now, lasts an entire day.
Best xp browser would be Firefox ESR52. Old by now sure but it works lol, or any newer projects based on Firefox. I had a desktop 7500 64mb. It payed halo decently. For your car issues, check the battery and alternator. Check voltage on the alternator, if it's high (like over 14v or so) it could be over voltage while under on Amps. Depending on chipset, you might be able to use a Pentium M which has some performance improvements per clock. Is the drive sata?
This is very similar to my Toshiba laptop that I remember buying from eBay for about $40, however it got some cosmetic damage in shipping but does still work so I let the seller know that and he refunded me the money and told me that I could keep the laptop so I got it for free, but it has a Pentium 4, 3.0ghz cpu with 1 gb of ram and a Geforce fx5200 go graphics card and Windows XP service pack 1. It seems to be from 2004. It also comes with Norton Antivirus 2004, however I'm not sure how well an antivirus software from 2004 would do in 2022.
For xp I recommend Minibrowser or Centaury. The first one is a fork of chrome 86 and the second a much more compatible firefox (Similar to MyPal but with the familair interface).
Hey, I have that one in my storage space among many other old laptops and had kind of forgotten about it. Compaq not existing since long ago kind of brings it closer to being a classic than just old junk nobody wants? I'd like to think so.
omfg I was not ready for that monster truck madness 2 i just went thru a time worm hole that brought me back the instant i saw it I used to play that everyday when i was like 7
this was the first computer i ever had that i could 100% call mine. a family friend gave it to me when i was 13 and loaded it with reason 3 and taught me how to compose music with it. i used it a lot for that, as well as school and playing the sims 2. i attempted to play the sims 3 on it when that game came out but it struggled horribly to run it, it was unplayable! i never knew about the upgradable wifi addon, but i did buy a pcmcia wifi card that i got a ton of mileage out of. i had a lot of great times with this ol compaq laptop though, it very much was apart of who i became as a person today. 😊
I am pretty sure this is what we will be getting from here out. An 8 minute video that costs him $15, with a 2-2.5 min ad built-in that more than pays for the video costs. Not a lot of new content here, just basic/cheap stuff getting refurbished. :(
@@garbage100 and yet some laptops don't even have enough USB ports. They have 2 USB C ports and call it a day. As a person who regularly needs other ports, this is stupid.
Still running XP on my main machine, have the same issue with YT video’s not playing, Mozilla Firefox no longer supported and the last update of it wiped my ability to save YT videos. I wish there was a windows system that is up to date without all of the spyware Microslut has installed on 10 and 11. Basically they have locked you out of your computer files if something goes wrong.
I still have an old laptop running XP. I use it to run software that would no longer run when Windows 7 came along. As far as I know, these pieces of software don't exist in more modern versions, so XP it is
I own this laptop, best browser it can use is a version of opera that works with 32 bit, though even with the maximum gig of ram and an SSD it is sluggish to run it.
I used to have a n410c which is 12 inch lcd screen version. I also bought docking station for it. It's speaker can be very loud. I am wondering the price, 15 dollars, it is very hard to find on ebay, haha
the final version of google chrome that is compatible with windows xp has html5 support and can play youtube videos but i cant remember what ineration it was it will give you modern web browsing on xp
i saw the thumbnail, this was the first computer i bought when i was a kid after delivering newspapers for a while I still remember going from 256mb ram -> 512mb -> 1gb across 2 years, I was poor growing up XD so much feel
Found one of these at a local second hand store, used it as my retro xp gaming machine for some low spec games for a while. unfortunately it died and i wasn't smart enough to figure out why lol.

The best windows xp browser I've found is the Maxthon MX5. It's still actively supported and can watch CZcams and do other task no problem
I had probably the same model back in the day, at least P4-M and Radeon 7500M rings bells.
For a Browser, use Sea Monkey for Windows XP, and make sure you have Windows XP SP3
Great video! ❤
Dude I had that laptop. That silver thing on top of the screen is a EVDO cellular modem !!!
I used to have a n410c which is 12 inch lcd screen version. I also bought docking station for it. It's speaker can be very loud. I am wondering the price, 15 dollars, it is very hard to find on ebay, haha
And take this in yo note for some reason. If you clean the bezel atounf the screen with isopropaly it will remove the paint
The transition to the sponsor in this video was... Brilliant!!
the final version of google chrome that is compatible with windows xp has html5 support and can play youtube videos but i cant remember what ineration it was it will give you modern web browsing on xp
i saw the thumbnail, this was the first computer i bought when i was a kid after delivering newspapers for a while
I still remember going from 256mb ram -> 512mb -> 1gb across 2 years, I was poor growing up XD
so much feel
Found one of these at a local second hand store, used it as my retro xp gaming machine for some low spec games for a while. unfortunately it died and i wasn't smart enough to figure out why lol.
Makes me realise how much I miss my old P4 2,8GHz Toshiba Satellite 😥
