Man, Japan in the 90's sounds more futuristic than my country

What an incredible machine for its time! Props to IBM Japan and Ricoh for the design and manufacturing of such a great, little laptop. And thank you, LGR, for this extremely interesting showcase!

So clear to see the camera ancestry. With that dock it reminds me of Sony's infamously crazy adaptors, slots, and buttons on their cameras and audio gear.

Man, I was fully grown and living in Germany in 1995 and I WISHED I could have had one of these babies. My paychecks always failed to rise to my dreams back then 🤑

Such useless shit tech lol

4:30 Yo lemme get some of those sound pictures bruh.

Personaware - You'll never see it coming! This would be such a cool slogan.

I was fascinated with rotary phones in the 90s. Imagine my delight with such a powerful miniature thing back then.

Now I understand where my GPD Win Max actually come from. Respect

Hah this is actually more powerful than my first IBM-compatible PC, which was 486DX/33mhz but only 4M ram!

They really needed to upgrade the fonts on this thing, it's all a bunch of indecipherable scribbles, doesn't even look like english. 😒

FART.

This is so damn amazing! IBM was a cool company back then!

The cumbersome bear frustratingly imagine because cello interspecifically expand regarding a abnormal wax. sincere, delightful bag

Scheisse waren die ihrer Zeit voraus 😂👍🏻

Oh hello there Gpd win max...

*Phone rings, *grabs 90s window phone..... ' Hella' LUL

that really looks like a USB port! do usb devices fit in it, but not work?

Cant find one for sale

Why you always playing doom

Looks like something Johnny Mnemonic would carry.

Screen looks like the ds

This is like a smartphone, but it's a laptop, from the 90's.

Smart phone of 90s

11:54 Even back then, Samsung was going up with semis.

Why is it that we always get the urge to type or write juvenile nonsense on computers for no reason? Perhaps I relate to writing "FARTS" more than I should have.

I'm just blown away. In '95 that had a lot of stats that would be welcome in a desktop at the time, especially the processor. I never knew there was anything like this back then.

This would be my dream machine at mid-1990s. My workplace then had similar "laptop" in business suitcase size for communications equipment testing. Also with sound card :)

I saw this at a computer fixing store and it cast $60. I did not buy it because I did not know it was worth that much :(

2:21 Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop Collection.

so it was a chromebook way before google was ever a thing.

I'd like to see what could be packed into something that size today.

Did he sound like tom hanks when he said good call at " 18:56 " ?

this phone/computer was ahead of it's time

Its the pandora handheld!

I have one, have the xt infraestructure, but have a defect in screen flat cable, always broken.

Gpd win grandpa via 1995

This is more powerful than the desktop I had in 1995.

7:59 “really ergonomic “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was just on an Ultraman video binge recently! Needless to say I was pretty stunned when I saw it was endorsed by Ultraman. I wonder if Godzilla has a PC sponsorship...

This thing is surprisingly future proof.

I love it! It's a good design. Make them again IBM. Shoot, make laptops again IBM.

This is so cool It's crazy to believe that this was brand new when I was a kid at the ripe age of 5 in 1995 We've come so far in computers that it's insane Now adays, a computer that makes phone calls is common I carry around 2 such devices (one can swivel for more screen real estate)

My phone is more powerful...will there be something smaller and more powerful than a smart phone in the future that makes it look like a brick too???

your intro is very good. :]

Also known as the Windows DS

Also known as the Windows DS

in 1995 i was 9 and didnt think PCs were a thing... when i heard of computers i thought more like 60s style computers

I remember being so hyped when they announced 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞™ at E3 95! Truly flipped the genre on its head.

Omg i completely forgot about chips challenge!

That is more powerful than my 386sx that I had back then as all we could afford :(

that was definitely the shit in 95 💯🤩

This is the apex of Japanese computer craze! How can anyone not love it.

i want this pc in 2021

The smartphone before time.

That new coke can for scale lol

Woowwww.... 🤩

holy hell this thing is really well designed! the easy access CR2032, the easy to replace battery, the CF slot man this thing make a lot of aweseom deisgn decisions that I wish had caught on more.

OMG TYRIAN!! BTW... for other fans of the game... OpenTyrian is a thing and it runs on modern systems ;) ahhh, the memories. Oh, fun fact: I actually live not far from the HQ of the company that *made* Tyrian, and they're still around today... back then they were "Epic MegaGames"... they've since taken the "Mega" out and are uhm a lot more famous ;)

4mb of ram? Wow. My phone has 12GB lpddr5x.

Awesome piece of tech!

A modern Windows 10 PC can't do everything the PC110 can out of the box. Almost everything, just not the World Clock. I believe Skype now comes with Windows 10 out of the box, so that takes care of the phone calls and you still have Windows Fax and Scan. Not sure about Wineries 8/8.1, but Windows 7 certainly couldn't do everything the PC110 can out of the box, as it doesn't come with Skype.

THAT BUTTERFLY KEYBOARD IS SO AWESOME

Imagine the flex of playing full doom on a bus in 1995. The drip would be real

why not put a modern lcd-screen in to it / better colors and no screen tearing..

This "laptop" has more ports than a macbook

Would love one of these, but $900 on ebay is insane currently

I would want to use this as a phone in this day and age

dose that thing even have a damm battery

Japan again. In 1995 I was using a SHARP Fontwriter. Those ribbons cost a fortune these days.

always loved the mini era when it was like 'cool' lol to this day id buy netbook if its cool and i can do sump with it i had a dope 10inch dell Insp, Nickalodeon edition

if the phone bit was cellular I'd say this would qualify as a smart phone

Epic Megagames a brand name way ahead of its competition of the time.

Not the smallest. Smallest ran xp and then Vista. I have a couple of them and almost all acc.

"Persona ware... I bet you never saw it coming!" I'm happy now.

WHERE DO I FIND ONE?!

15 years ahead of its time. But I kind of understand why they didn't keep developing it. Even at the price they were selling it for in 1995, I bet they weren't making much off these. That device was pushing the bleeding edge of what was possible then.

So this must be the predecessor to today's smartphones. And it's from the 90's

@jbfarley Still. It's easy to be amazed by a device that could literally do the same things a modern smartphone can do (except for wireless phone calls). And it is from 1995, which is a good 13 years before the first smartphones came to the market..

except no, not really, it's just a regular laptop that acts as a landline phone

would love to install some modern guts in that thing! amazing!

This is basically a smart phone

The size is like, 2x that of Gba sp probably. Awesome, but as a laptop i would rather have something bigger.

You can't fool me, LGR. That is a New Nintendo 3DS XL

I love Ultraman, but why use a literal Giant to advertise your tiny PC?

Aww man, Japan gets all the cool shit!

IT'S BABY

Can't imagine them being that useful for real work, ergonomics over portability for devices you use for long periods of time

wait what was that test song? i liked it

Damn, that thing was as good, or possibly better, as the laptop I used from 1997 to 2001.

Let me just say: Japanese technology is the best.

min 2:47 HP 200 LX el mío es de 4 MB RAM, funcionando en la actualidad, puesto que funciona con sólo dos baterías AA y mediante interface serial, aun intercambio y trabajo archivos. Saludos!

Omg im in love

this is still impressive today. it was really ahead of its time. cute little thing.

I would've loved this cutiepie of a laptop as a kid, heck I won't mind having this now just for the fun of it haha.

hey i have one of those!
