Thinking of this a bit, I intend my next computer will be a Panasonic with a solid state drive. Not needed for desk duty though.

Have you looked at Tablets, they can fold themselves and prop up on the wall at the back of the desk. Touch screens are nice in that case.

For years I have never heard anything good about any Compaq computer.
When they bought out Digital to get a better hold the commercial market most all the top employees moved on.
They bought HP just to get the name to try and keep there sales up on their entry level crap since they were tanking.
Even under the guise of HP I would not chance owning one, Dell is bad enough but I would not gamble with a Compaq.
