I'm not sure what you meant by this although the Open-PC and Penguin Wee are/were identical hardware wise. The only difference is in the software/branding of the unit.

The original Penguin Wee/OpenPC should run Trisquel great. If you ordered it with 1GB it might not be sufficient for the latest version. I'm guessing that is what your gripe is. Upgrading the ram would be a good idea. We usually recommend more ram to people unless they are trying to cut corners and also sticking with an older LTS release. I would not advise less than 2GB for the current version of Trisquel and even then 2GB only if one is going to stick with the 6 release once it comes out for the next 3 years.

The new Penguin Wee / HTPC is nice. It supports HD video and is much faster. The original Penguin Wee though has some nice qualities about it too. Especially if you are just looking to use it for web browsing, email, word processing, etc. The new version is a super charged Penguin Wee and probably overkill for the majority. Most of the people buying them are not at all tech savvy. They are just looking for something simple to send emails, browse the web, and maybe do a little typing (think snail mail letters). The original also is a really great system for learning GNU/Linux because of the price point. It works perfectly without the need to deal with proprietary software thus allowing one to really get into the software.
