Want to get a Windows XP compatible computer for my brother.
Hi, I've been thinking about getting a native/compatible Windows XP computer/laptop for my little brother. He is all interested in this era of Windows, in its aesthetics and in the development of this OS, as he has installed multiple VMs in his own laptop to test different development builds of Windows XP, Longhorn, Vista, etc.
I was thinking about getting him a separate machine only for him to toy around with, maybe with a big enough HDD to partition and so he can test different versions of OS's in each one of those. Plus, some of his VM's run kinda slow, and I would want him to experience the "real deal", maybe learn something or two more about computers.
Should I just get a cheap computer/laptop and slap Windows XP on it? Or would it be better to get a computer/laptop from around this time? If so, could any of you recommend such a device?
Thanks in advance for your help.
