	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.

	Strong Bad only checked three emails on the Compé, the last of which was [[videography]]. When he returned to check [[sbemail 206]], 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 is the home computer that Strong Bad has checked the fewest number of emails on, although it stayed Strong Bad's official computer for 2060 days; making it Strong Bad's longest-lasting computer until it was surpassed by the [[Lappier]] on November 21, 2020.
