A Twinhead which is very shy about telling you which model it is!!
Belarc tells me:
Twinhead P14N 1.0
Asset Tag: 0123ABC
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T 04/02/01
2000 megahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
40.00 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
Slimtype COMBO LSC-24081 [CD-ROM drive]
376 Meg of RAM
The
CD drive is actually a DVD/CD- CDwriter so naughty Belarc.
I waited until the
CD-R machines came down below $Aus3000 which was early 2004 (I think!!).
Now you can get a version with 60GB and a DVD writer for about half the price or less perhaps.
Advantages of the Twinhead were advertised as its drop resistance and ability to drink coffee, or at least not be affected by a large coffee spill on the keyboard.
To my surprise, I have not tested its ability to drink coffee, but my wife checked out the drop resistance, one metre to a wooden floor on its corner and you cannot even see where it landed and no effect at all on the #8n8(()),> oh the keyboard. I jest, I am actually typing from a remote wireless keyboard.
It was reasonable value at the time, not too heavy, and has proved reliable in a range of countries.
A DLL in the Windows 2000 on my desktop "disappeared" allowing it to do everything but connect to my intranet, so I am using the Twinhead now for this and suffering the benefits of
XP!
It runs Office, Lotus ME, Photoshop and who knows what else.
