The '''Compé''' (pronounced "com-PAY") was [[Strong Bad]]'s fourth computer, which he ordered from the [[Compy Catalog]] after he destroyed the [[Lappy 486]]. Like the Lappy and its predecessor, the [[Compy 386]], the Compé is manufactured by [[Compy, Inc.]] According to its description in the catalog, the Compé delivers European-sounding flair with Southeast-Asian-sounding prices, which apparently are Strong Bad's favorites. It cost $800, which Strong Bad paid with 80,000 pennies. It appears to have a sense of humor, bringing up a BSOD-esque [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning#Fake Fragrant System Error|"Fragrant Error"]] after startup that made Strong Bad very frustrated. It then responded with "i joké". Strong Bad claims that he and the Compé "will get along just fine". Its sound effects are mainly laughs or sighs of a calm, high-pitch male voice. The keyboard is also quieter than those on Strong Bad's previous computers. | The '''Compé''' (pronounced "com-PAY") was [[Strong Bad]]'s fourth computer, which he ordered from the [[Compy Catalog]] after he destroyed the [[Lappy 486]].

The first [[Strong Bad Email]] Strong Bad checked on it was [[independent]]. In that email, it was revealed that the Compé utilizes a [[Wikipedia:Graphical User Interface|graphical user interface]]. Opening windows are animated (with a zoom in from the center of the screen,) as is the right-click menu, suggesting that the computer runs a [[Wikipedia:Compositing window manager|compositing window manager]]. This makes it the most technologically advanced computer Strong Bad has owned. It is also the first wide-screen computer that Strong Bad has owned, as well as the first one primarily operated with a mouse (despite his dislike of them in [[weird dream]] and [[redesign]]), or with a graphical desktop (which he calls the "best thing ever"). | The first [[Strong Bad Email]] Strong Bad checked on it was [[independent]].

When he returned to check [[sbemail206]], he discovered that the Compé was buried under a massive dust pile. After blowing the pile away, Strong Bad discovered that all but the top right corner of the Compé's screen had "compressed" into a new computer, the [[Lappier]]. To date, this the computer that Strong Bad checked the least amount of [[Sbemails]] on (aside from the [[Corpy NT6]]). |

The sound it makes by default is a voice clip similar to the startup sound, but Strong Bad managed to customize it so it emitted The Paper's old [[Preeeeow]]. Strong Bad calls it "Compé-per" (pronounced "com-paper"). The back button links to the toons menu rather than the Strong Bad Email menu. |
