Re: 1:30 The U-Series was actually sold in the US! The Japanese models were the U50 (with a Celeron) and U70P (with a Pentium M and Windows XP Pro). The latter model was sold as the U750P in the US, but probably not as many surviving examples as the U50/70 Japanese models.

Yeah, U750P is a really rare one. I am lucky to have one in near perfect condition with box and accessories, but there were like 5000 units (if not less) produced back in 2004, and the number of surviving units seems to be very low nowadays

I remember this one to be by far the least quirky and the most solid among UMPCs. Not so practical for real world uses, none of UMPCs were, but the perfection shows in the briefness of this video. It's exactly what it looks like, and there's no special care needed. Most others has creaks and flexes and rooms for tweaks.

@@rollingtroll nope. Centrino was a totally different thing to p4. It was a revolution like apples m1. P4 architecture was inefficient, so intel had to increase frequency. Pm cpus had the architecture that was the evolution of p3 instead. Banias was the 1st Pm core evolved into Dothan. Lots of info about them. U50 uses ULV celeron M banias CPU. Its quite on par with 1,5-1,7 ghz p4. Its not atom:-). In 2004 celeron M ULV 900mhz and pm ULV 1.0 and 1.1 ghz were the high end choice for subnotebooks (dont be confused with netbooks).

2000s Sony was nice, some stupid stuff like the CD rootkits (in defense of the Memory Stick: SD wasn't the only competitor but also CompactFlash/Microdrive, MMC, SmartMedia and xD and some digital cameras from the 2000s also had some proprietary USB connectors while Sony was using mini-USB "B" and/or i.Link (4-pin FireWire)), but they did a bunch of quirky things like their Qualia product line (the 016 was a tiny digital camera in 2003 around that time first mobile phones with cameras appeared, the Siemens S55 seemed to be one of the first but its camera wasn't integrated, it was externally connected via the charging/data port), their NW-A3000 walkman was one of the first with an OLED screen in 2006 and the XEL-1 in 2008 the world's first OLED TV, just 11" small with 960x540 (but that's equal to a 22" screen with 1920x1080. It also matches with their slogan "like.no.other" at that time. It's a little sad that such UMPCs, Netbooks and Tablet-PCs got mostly killed off by the iPad and Tablet boom, however at least the Tablet-PCs returned just a few years later with the Microsoft Surface (Pro) and Windows 8 that had finally a UI made for touch control and we got Ultrabooks now, but a
