The idea to write this habratopik came up with me right after subnotebooks gained well-deserved popularity.
But today we will talk about the fact that everything is new - this is a well-forgotten old.
Meet: My Digital HiNote Ultra II is a 1996subnotebook rare book .

But today we will talk about the fact that everything is new - this is a well-forgotten old.
Meet: My Digital HiNote Ultra II is a 1996
(in this photo, the 1994 model is HiNote Ultra I)
(in this Ultra II)
Features:
- Size: 48x280x230 mm
- 11.2 inch screen 800 * 600
- 16 MB RAM (SO-SIMM)
- 2 pcmcia slots, vga output, external docking station
- Intel Pentium 150 MHz (exactly)
- 2.5 inch hard drive in the original 1.3 GB, but I put 10;)
- Weight: 1.8 kg
- Options for external modules - 1.4 inch floppy disk unit or CD-Rom 6x + speakers with sound card, inputs / outputs for headphones and microphone
- Infrared port - to access the Internet
- 2 PC-card Type II (for adding USB ports)
3300 mA battery
The operating system to choose from: MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98 \ SE, Linux SlackWare (+ experience in unsuccessful installations of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Ubuntu, Kolibri OS). I think that giving the characteristics of eeePC does not make sense, because it is clear that this rarity will not be able to compete with modern subnotebooks.
(Although it should be noted - a convenient keyboard, resolution 800 * 600, a mechanical trackball, the ability to open the laptop cover more than 180 degrees, mild heat, a convenient LCD hotkey indicator, the presence of a standard 2.5-inch hard drive, LTP, COM, VGA, PC -card outputs are just a fact, removable floppy and disk drives).
But even with Digital HiNote Ultra II you can sit back on your lap, start FireFox and read the Habr.
Can we repeat this trick with eeePC? Time will tell.
PS: Cost HiNote Ultra II $ 5000;)
