OQO model 02

 

The OQO model 02 is the most intuitive and innovative 1-pound PC available on the market.

1-pound device. Small enough to slide into your pockets. Best thumb board on a Micro PC. Vibrant 5-inch screen. Built-in Sprint EV-DO modem. Innovative docking station.

More expensive than the original version. VIA processors appear to be slower than their Intel counterparts. Fan noise can get annoying.

OQO e2 - 1 Pound Wonder with HSDPA WAN

 

OQO packs the specs of a genuine PC into a tiny lightweight portable device with real wireless broadband, but you can't buy it in the US yet.

OQO model 02 - Notebook and UMPC Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

 

When we reviewed the OQO model 01, the original OQO, back in mid-2005, we were impressed with this handheld Windows machine's ambition and incredibly small size, However, there were plenty of shortcomings-- the digitizer didn't work well, the machine...

Incredibly small yet usable. Extremely good looking-- even the accessories are eye candy. Runs full Windows. Durable magnesium alloy casing (but be careful of the display), wonderful display and excellent wireless connectivity built-in (though we wish...

Quite expensive. Like most UMPCs, battery life is so-so with standard battery. No built-in card reader or VGA port (must use the included dongle for VGA and most projectors use VGA connectors). Low resolution display relative to screen size is easy on...

And EVDO in a package this small means you can stay connected most anywhere in the US. Lastly the OQO model 02 offers the power of Vista and XP and the wealth of applications that run on Windows literally in the palm of your hand.

Review: OQO Model 02

 

The OQO Model 02 was introduced at CES 2007 as the world's smallest Vista-capable personal computer and began shipping to customers (sort of) in late March.

Starting at $1299, the OQO Model 02 may be more expensive than most are willing to pay for a pint-size PC, but its outstanding thumb keyboard, beautiful design, compact form factor, connectivity options, easy navigation, and respectable performance...

No memory card slots, Only one USB port, No slot for optional stylus, Keyboard numeric keypad has inverted orientation, Battery life 2-3 hours. But with extended battery, this should not be an issue, OQO not forthcoming about when unit and/or...

OQO E2

 

Barely any larger than a PDA, the OQO E2 (configuration 1) is actually a fully fledged PC with Windows Vista Ultimate installed and functioning. Not o...

Operating temperatures, Could use one more USB 2.0 port

The OQO E2 is quite an impressive little design with some good connectivity and would suite a number of tasks, as long as they require more portability than power

OQO e2 ultramobile PC with HSDPA review

 

An ultramobile PC is a full PC in a nearly pocket-size unit. OQO, founded in 2000 by ex-Apple engineers, is the most distinctive of the ultramobile PC makers, producing over the years a series of increasingly gorgeous-looking devices, leading up to the...

Frankly - we love this luscious ultramobile PC, even though we can't type on it. It's well designed and a pleasure to use. At its current price, we couldn't justify buying it however - for the same money we could get an entry level laptop and a...

OQO model e2 review

 

OQO's third UMPC looks like a belter, with a big screen and QWERTY keyboard. Will it be the saviour of ultra-portable computing?

The e2 is a big-screen UMPC with lots to offer people who like to travel light. With higher resolution, it would be a real star
