- Not only was the IBM PalmTop PC 110 the world's tiniest DOS and Windows subnotebook in 1995 but it also functioned as a telephone handset! Let's take a look at this fantastic little 33MHz 486 computer from the mid '90s, which also strove to be a personal organizer, a digital notepad, a desktop clock, a portable fax machine, and a digital camera all in one handheld device.

"wow i wish i had something like this!" i said, before realizing i was watching this on a device that serves the exact same purposes
Yup, it'd be absolutely useless, just gathering dust in my storage. Still want one.
But dang, having this smart phone precursor 25 years ago would've been the coolest thing ever.
I know, right? Smartphones do their job so well we barely even notice them anymore.
@@deusexaethera my pc does a million more things than any cell phone can do. They are good for what they are but they will never replace the pc.
But this is still better because it can run doom
And you have a keyboard to use as a controller instead of stupid touch controls
This thing was a smartphone before smartphones were mainstream.
This is some real hipster shit.
Actually, those would be the Windows based Pocket PC devices which appeared towards the latter part of the 90s, and continued till the mid 2000s. HTC were the king of the Pocket PC.
Or cellphones in general as we came know them around that time
Japan is always ahead of America in terms of cellphone technology
The original Windows phone
I love that you're just cutting off the "can it run Doom" questions immediately now.
Imagine the flex of playing full doom on a bus in 1995. The drip would be real
I need a non zoomer translation for this comment...

@@ahandsomefridge indeed, a recurring insight into what goes round his head...
This would have been the dream in 1995. What an epic little machine!
Amazed this existed then. I wouldn't mind having it now
My dream in 1995 would’ve been befriends with Clint and play for hours
I would have got one if it was sold in the US back then. Everything LGR did with this unit was pretty much the stuff I would have been doing in 1995. DOOM, Duke3D, word processing, programming, drawing, etc. The bonus is I would not have needed my nokia phone. lol
@@Tall_Order Unless I'm misinterpreting your meaning, you WOULD still have needed your Nokia phone as the PC110 has no cellular capability, it just works as a regular phone handset if you plug it into a standard landline jack.
@@dunebasher1971 Ah well luckily I said "even if its just dialup" then. Then again we would need a modem...
I would have loved this in 1995. I was always wanting something sort of like this. I hated how large desktop machines were. I wanted a laptop that I could plug in a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to and make it my desktop. But in 1995 there was always some sort of compromise. The main one being that most laptops of the era didn't have sound cards. I've never heard of a 486/33 laptop with a sound card, so that's pretty darned cool!
Wouldn't the trade off had been too great to practically use though? Even back then, I'm sure it's too far from practical.
Aww, isn't the screen-to-body ration of 0.31 to die for?
yeap I would of love it too. I just got a GPD micropc smaller then this. win10 etc and love it I play old skool games one it. and use n64 and ps1 emulators too. and its easily fit in my jacket pocket and take to work.
@@ps5hasnogames55 Why is everyone coming up with sentences and jokes like that! If he says that it worked for many other systems, I believe him! Also, everyone makes errors, even really big ones, that means that you probably made some too... errare humanum est, perseberare autem diabolicum.
@@marinacelada3246 It actually worked for many systems I worked on as well. It was just a simple misfortune.
11:37 I love how IBM can fit upgradable ram into a laptop this tiny, but Apple can't even do it on full sized laptops
Won't....not can't lol
I had a G3 Lombard that had upgradeable memory (it had 384MB), also had a G4 Powerbook which I managed to upgrade to 1GB from 128MB.
@@BlokeOnAMotorbike I'm mainly talking about today, how you can still get new Thinkpads with upgradable ram and upgradable ssds but with macbooks that's all built into the board. Apple has been doing stuff like this for roughly 10 years now.
@@sleeplessengineer1450, well, I upgraded mbp mid 2015 from 256GB to 2TB Intel SSD 6, but you got the point, it actually will be cheaper to go linux and loose all software that I paid for, than to buy new mac when this one will die/be obsolete beyond usable.
I've got a 2001 iBook with a normal (for the era) laptop SODIMM slot for more RAM. It's easier to open up than any of my Thinkpads, too. Hopefully that will start coming back as right-to-repair laws come in.
imagine if this would've taken off and we would hold our phones today like a waiter holds their dishes
IBM Phones instead of iPhones
ngadge, the best taco phone
We would have smaller laptops I'm guessing.

Better mobile games? I guess.

How did I not see this? I grew up in the era of GameBoy Advance and I didn't notice this until you said it.
Seriously, though...those were the days. Back when everyone in the cafeteria and at recess had GameBoys. Later on sometimes a first gen DS. I remember the days when you could find someone to trade or battle Pokémon with after class. Now it's all emulation.
Its a japanese exclusive so even growing up in the 90's you wouldn't really know of it unless you were into japanese tech, lived there or had info on this stuff from around the world at the time. I remember the og gb blowing my mind and its camera.

I'm not gonna lie; sitting here in 2021 surrounded by a smartphone, a tablet, a docked laptop, an all-in-one pc, a home NAS, and a gaming PC with dual monitors, I audibly gasped in amazement when you showed the keyboard on the 701c. THAT is truly the way of the future!
Weird flex, but okay
@@Timbobjr Odd interpretation, but okay.
Not a flex at all. The point was to illustrate that I (like many, if not most, of us watching this channel) am surrounded by modern technology at all times which, in most every way, totally outclasses the 90s tech on display with the 701c's "butterfly" keyboard. Despite all of this, I was instantaneously amazed by it.
It was intended more as a slightly self-deprecating comment of "the grass is always greener..", but that sort of loses any sense of amusement once you have to explain it, so I apologize if you missed that.
@@Stjernefodt- Dude, nevermind Dunce cap Jr over here. I know _exactly_ what you mean and I'm 100% the same way.
In spite of owning a pocket sized device--let alone a full sized beastly machine--with capabilities far surpassing anything you could possible comprehend in the 90s, my jaw hit the floor upon the reveal of that innovative butterfly keyboard. There's something about "vintage" electronics and their use of mechanical components that always fascinated me.
As someone who can remember as far back as the year 2000/01 with all the old tech as it was then new, I can safely say there is a sense of wonder missing from most of today's tech. Although the sheer performance of modern hardware is thousands of times faster than it was back then, most of it lacks that ambitious "spark" of futuristic design that were so common throughout the 90's and into the early 2000's.

6:40 Just that port alone is so ahead of its time, considering actual usb didn't come out until 1996 and wasn't commonly used until 1998
Yeah, but it has nothing in common with USB... maybe except being square in shape. For example Nintendo Link or power connectors are quite similar as well... Or dozens other proprietary plugs found on hardware now and back then.
@@override7486 Being rectangular in shape and easy to plug in and detach, that second one is a pretty significant improvement over things like the PS/2 mini-DIN connector.
Not worth the inconvenience of having to bring an adapter, though. :)
It's not a port you can connect a whole lot of different peripherals to... unlike Atari's SIO of 1979! ;) I don't know why IBM didn't go for something like that.
Holy fuck that butterfly keyboard mechanism is the coolest shit I've seen in a while!
I pressed left cursor several times there to see it more than once... so cool :)
i was about to say "we've come a far way in 15 years..." then i realized that was 25 years ago... im old.
26 years ago haha. Old.
That's okay, everyone forgets the trauma of the '00s.
@frd liem USB was created in 1996, becoming widespread from 97. Windows 95 had USB support in OSR2.
Don't feel bad I remember watching television on a 1948 Zenith black and white TV with a round picture tube in a beautiful wood cabinet.
The TV screen was on the right hand side and it had a AM radio on the upper left hand side with a phonograph below it.
In 1965 we were very fortunate to get a Magnavox color TV console for the basement play area.
Good timing on that as many TV shows on the TV networks had started to be broadcast in color
Also we had one of the new fangled Sony Transistor pocket radios in 1962 . 6 transistors I think it had and it still worked fine even after 56 years.
I do remember the days of checking and replacing TV tubes in TV's and radios at the tube tester machine in our local grocery store with dad.
@@m9078jk3 damn were your parents rich?? Color TVs were pretty uncommon in 1965 as far as I think..
Imagine sitting in the cafeteria in 1995 dressed all in denim with your mini Windows laptop playing Doom, and your crush calls so you fold it up and take the phone call. A true Chad would own something like this

This is impressive for 1995, like a primitive GPD Win.
I've been watching every LGR episode in release order. The Persona: "Last Surprise" reference totally hit me like a brick be cause that means I'm nearing present day in the back log! What am I supposed to do with my eyes after I am caught up with LGR?
The fact that you can still obtain batteries for this device is amazing. Proper future proofing in that sense, and goes a long way in solidifying the collectability status, since one could quite easily use it for some kind of productivity even today.
It was probably a cost and dev time saving measure that they used something off the shelf instead of proprietary.
Either way, yeah, amazing
No, the main issue with these are the LCDs, which fail randomly (it seems the layers come apart). Once that's happened, you can do nothing to help or fix it.
yes, you can still obtain batteries, but not everywhere. My HP 100LX runs on AAs so you can get replacements at any grocery store. But the slow 186 and non-backlit screen make it worse overall for productivity compared to the PC110.
If anyone's interested, I made a little DOScember video demoing my Palmtop, but I don't give it nearly the justice it deserves: czcams.com/video/RNPNwPmP6LI/video.html
Its a shame not many companies keep the ability to future-proof like this anymore. Would save so much waste! Also, the fact it can use compact flash drives is a bonus as they're still in use today too!
Replace the screen and it'll last forever!

@@SilverSpoon_ There is a GPD Win/Win 2 for an instance, I have a GPD Win exactly because of watching "too much" 90s science-fiction as well as being able to play old Windows games and do all things Android, Apple and other ARM smartphones just don't and probably won't do in 20 years on the go (any kind of cloud computing was NEVER an option for me), and it is super handy for everything I would use a normal laptop for, except for very demanding things like 3d modelling of something more complex than say a battery cover for a camera that I need 3D printed yesterday, or playing modern games. But it's great for old Windows or emulated games, moving photos off camera to a hard drive, editing documents and maybe coding when I have to do it on the go. And for watching DVD movies on the ceiling from a pico projector when lying in bed sick with COVID-19, as the cyberdeck itself, USB DVD drive and the projector on a little tripod fit comfortably beside me and a bowl of popcorn. The only thing I regret about buying it is not getting a GPD Win 2 instead, because I couldn't afford it back then. Really, a very useful thing to have, and if it had a cellular modem and better battery life, I would probably not need a smartphone at all.
I think retropunk might fit better lol
@@krzysztofczarnecki8238 if it can run Debian why not. Was thinking of something more lightweight than an Athlon, like a crusoe or even a MIPS. but well good to know it exist. Design wise it's pretty horrible.

Stay awhile and listen.
Exactly the reason why I love this channel so much, Clints way of presenting, his voice and all the 90s nostalgia makes me relax in a way I never knew I needed.

I feel like LGR needs a land line just to try these crazy things out. Lol
Most routers have land line jack capabilities. The problem is most of these require a different sort of internet if that makes sense. Now if someone could find enough of these to make them a bit cheaper and more common people could modify a few to work on modern tech.
Here in Germany you have routers with TAE plugs(the National plug for telephones) and they convert it between analog and digital. So you can use your old phones with a sip server. An sip account with your old phone number is still included in mostly all deals for home Internet.

I think I had 4 or 5 expansion cards, it was awesome swapping them in and out for different things. I can't remember what they were all for, but the great part about it is that it allowed me to use the laptop much longer without having to carry dongles and what not.
