OQO Model 2

[satansam]

SCHLEEK.

[pronessnoob]

2007, super old!

[Geimouver]

haahahahahahahaha stop it at 0:03

[r3ddevill]

i am left handed and they are assholes...since i use my left hand for precision movements (like drawing with tablets and using mouse) all the big features are meaningless 4 me ....

[LordVysh]

Windows Vista works perfectly when you configure it right.

[badassgamer202]

i know anyone who reads this will think this is funny a acer aspire 1 which is the newest acer netbook and one of the smallest portable laptops today has 1.66 ghz of processesing speed meaning that this little thing that is 4 years old almost has the power to kick that laptops but

[stk931]

why does everyone hate vista? ive had it on my comp since i got it in 09 and its never crashed on me

[Nosloveingneko]

@stk931 same here. the only time i have problems with it is when IVE done something to screw it up.

[RedCodeStudios]

i just removed all the parts of my computer and put them in my pockets Thus i have that power..... :)

[KJR8910]

He reminds you of a Business-styled Wolverine? lol nah~

[stk931]

they need to put windows 7 in it, and an sdxc card slot in it. then it would be a lot thinner and you could choose the amount of memory you want in it. if they did that it would also be one of the first devices to support sdxc

[PhiberOptics]

Whats the price on this thing ?

[kvillproductions]

ditch windows all together install Linux!

[mirako347]

This thing was the bomb back then, but then the cost was too much. I wander what VIA Technologies is going to do now. They keep talking about how their solutions are crazy with their pico-itx or even mobile-itx motherboards (mobile-itx is about 6cm x 6cm...refresh my memory if people know better). VIA Technologies...good luck with your Quad Core....

[liamere2011]

how much are oqo model 1

[Hi68fx]

I'm getting it if it can run minecraft!

[namenone133]

i would pay 1500 bucks for that (if i had them)but its extrmly dificultu find

[mvandeven]

WOW is it amazing to see how things have changed in the last 4 years. unbelievable.

[adam1611]

re-install XP instead - beast!

[Brandon75689]

Only ignorant non tech-savvy people say vista is shit.Learn to optimize and customize your Os nubs.

[VieuxMalcommode]

Hmmm.... A high gloss screen? What were they thinking? Did anyone notice the fingerprints on the thing while the presenter was wafting it around? U-GLY!

[xritasos]

Is it touchscreen?

[dusanmandic0012]

@xritasos i think you can prolly google it

[oldlyswansea]

yea but i bet if you really look you'ed be able to put all that on an jail broken iphone/ipad/ipod touch

[FRURMELLL]

I was like: BETTER THAN IPOD TOUCH OMG IMMA BUY THIS! But then I found out about the price. 2500 dollars? MY ASS.

[amadino13]

If I had 2500$ to waste, I'd totally buy this thing!

[mrgoldenblog]

small and portable???, It's just 4 inches fat :D That's what i call slim

[Schnikerdoodle]

I want Albert back. :(

[adam1611]

@Schnikerdoodle are you retarded?

Who wants ALbert when you can get Logan?

We want Logan BACK!

[Schnikerdoodle]

@adam1611

Don't make such radical assumptions you arrogant twit. If someone contradicts what you say don't automatically generalize them as, "retarded."

[Necrozillla]

3 years ago and it looks better than the Viliv N5.

[Gearsguy405]

@Necrozillla Yea. I wish someone would just rip off the OQO by now. I know theres the new Chinese OQO but I mean just like if Viliv made a computer with the same exact design or something. You know what I mean?

[hondaboy2207]

that sit is HUGE



[snap0pans]

omg! it haves worst OS ever :O

[HuntersModz]

Really cool device, not worth $2500 though. Ill wait till its as cheap as an ipod. 

[reaper83001]

omg i nwant this mr. TigerDirectBlog how long can it run for?

[hfjde]

can any one here actually explain y you guys hate vista?...bet not...stop following what a few people said and look at the facts

[Chibicho]

@hfjde

Yea it's sad because alot of people didn't know that if they had the required specs for Vista, it was amazing for gaming.

Instead of buying the ultimate version , which you should've done, they bought home premium and business.

I had

4gigs of DDR2 Ram OCed to 1033Mhz

AMD Athelon || Dual core- 6000+ 3.2Ghz

Geforce 9400GT

80g hardrive.

Not a single crash through 5 years of vista.

Also most who said it sucked didn't understand most of the above

[hfjde]

@Chibicho lol yea... i had vista...but then i had to get windows 7 cause my dumb sister got about 10 viruses on it DX..but never had a problem with vista

[BloodStone20]

damn you guise are stupid just go torrent Windows 7 and bam YUR DONE!

[johnmonk66]

The chinese are bringing out a model 03 version of this, OQO has stated it is a clone(because OQO is out of business) and it costs from 2 to 5 grand. Too bad, OQO was the best

[fasic]

can I install photoshop in it

[Qkumber1]

@fasic

Can you install photoshop on vista?

[timonix2]

@fasic yes, but not after effects CS5

[linkinpark4lifeyo]

do u haft to pay monthly service or is it just connected to wifi

[isaisai9192]

ill just put windows xp pro black edition make it a lot better

[sindiewen]

I actualy want one of thees. Small, sleek, It would b pretty kool for me at school. Light gaming with Diablo and maby CS 1.6

I wonder if I can still find one of thees. Probly expencive as fuck.

[isaisai9192]

@sindiewen actually its pretty cheap 900$ and there the open pandora for 3 - 4 hundred

[fasic]

@isaisai9192 can I install photoshop in it

[isaisai9192]

@fasic

yes

just about anything as long as you have the hdd space

and reformat the hard disk and put windows xp pro on it and itll run better

[JULESRULES9969]

@sindiewen they can be like 5k and i cant find one for shit.. i want one bad

[Whassa12]

"you're not gonna believe this dock" ::holds in laughter::

[Gearsguy405]

You guys complaign about vista, yet it takes 5 min to upgrade to 7 >_>

[sindiewen]

@Gearsguy405 and a few hours to torrent a copy of windows 7 instad of spending 200 on it :p

[Gearsguy405]

@sindiewen

[kavlor2003]

No touch screen thats terrible especially when its form factor is more suited to touch than say a clamshell device and yet even some clamshell devices have touch screen.

[gypsyfunnyboy09]

ya theres a touch screen 1 u gotta searsh smallest pc ever

[ogicabp4u]

doesn't have touch screen!!!!...fawkin shite!!!

[impulsive2urge]

can you install windows 7 on it via usb?

[timonix2]

i think it does.. at least when i checked their website.how else are you supposed to click anywhere :S

[MrClassy1991]

why buy this when you can get archos 9 cheaper check it out 1000000 times better than this crap, and it has vista

[hatwithfloppers]

@MrClassy1991 vista is fucking shit

[Ocelot201]

@hatwithfloppers

Do elaborate, please.

[Awesnap]

well this computer is 2 years older... im actually posting from my oqo at the moment. i was looking into the archos 9 but early reports is it has alot of bugs they need to work out the oqo has better all around computing options, full keyboard, wacom penabled, dvd r docking station, 3g modem, and its much smaller. unfortunately oqo went out of business so you can only get them second hand but luckily its dropped to the price of an archos 9 or lower

[zsmorr92]

It has an active digitizer, which he didn't mention, it may not actually come with the pen, which would be stupid.

[torolove]

Thats a pretty good video, but I would have added an external lcd/keyboard/mouse to the docking station setup so people can visualize this thing as a real computer/tv thats very portable.

[sdutango]

nice one..

[GabeZTV]

that thing is obese

[cruzz903]

i'd buy it for sure if i could use it as a blackberry. since the fastest is the bold with 600 Mhz and than this thing is 1500 Mhz Bam fuck the bold :P

[ultragaming1993]

1.6Ghz cpu 1gb ram 533fsb,, that litle thing is stronger then my old laptop :o

danm thats good

[ldartez]

i'd get it just to pop linux into that thing to turn it into something useful

[johnmonk66]

the antenna is for the 3g, not for wifi

and vista ruins the computer

[tigercubkitten]

This is an advertisement for sure. Mention the price and the poor performance, prick!

[TheInfadelKing]

i wonder how it would be to dj on that one...

[TheDragonlord103]

where can i find plz replie i been looking to buy one thanks!!!

[TheKnightsofwar210]

Ebay, They stopped making them they're going bankrupt.

[bullfilms8050]

1 gb of ram? for vista ultimate?!? sucks! cool, but you should have at least 2 gb of ram for full vista functionality.

[Noold]

there is a 2g model I think

[demon69120]

Not really, unless you're at 64-bit. What do you need 2 gigs for on vista?

[bullfilms8050]

speed is good. a single gig on vista isnt really that great. itll be a bit sluggish.

[USAattacks]

nice advert

[gameboymd1]

i thought it had windows xp....hmmm

[mr931126]

he's REALY crazy..

[ParticalMahn]

nice green screen lol, and my teacher brought his OQO to class today and i got to play around on it (NH)

[Azahran1790]

where can you buy it though, cant find it anywhere?

[andgly95]

It has almost the same specs as my Acer Aspire One netbook.

[b0rka7a]

"All the POWER of WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE in your pocket!"

power? what power?? :D the power to crash of course! :D

[sindiewen]

@b0rka7a Man windows vista blew hard. Had to live with it till my old laptop croaked on me. Now this thing with windows 7 kicks ass.

I think bill gates pulled vista out of his ass and said "hey! this seems smooth, fast and its eye candy! lets release it!"

[bigwang45feet]

@b0rka7a xp has the most stable os. vista has crashes and freezes all the time its shit

thumb up

P.S id love for you to prove me wrong(:

[jonQuest82]

that doc needs a full touch keyboard or something. . .I hate handheld devices with qwerty keyboards made for infant hands. I don't wanna type a document with the corners of my thumbs.

[thriller920]

you can run wow on that

[ricardo10101]

It's nice, but I mean, I wouldn't prefer that over a regular laptop... I mean... It's small and extremely expensive. Laptops aren't really that much of a problem if you travel. Some are extremely light and portable and cheaper=]

[BurningAce66]

its soo cool .. but expensive :I

[satansam]

Is he a salesman or a reviewer? Quite a poor vid.

[IanTBH]

He's a reviewer, duh :)

[satansam]

So why is it more like a sales pitch than a review? I've seen this a few times from US based review sites, I guess it's just them guys who are sitting in the pockets of these manufacturers.

[istroublebrewing]

probably why its around 2 grand

[GadgetGirl1995]

just lacking a webcam...

[wentzizzlesizzle]

1GB RAM can handle Vista? Are you kidding?

[GhizeTheGuru]

my macbook with 1 gb handles vista really good

[wentzizzlesizzle]

buutt it's a macbook.

[GhizeTheGuru]

yeah?

[satansam]

Yes it can, are you new to computers?

[wentzizzlesizzle]

No but Vista fails?

[LoveCameras]

My Vista Alway update from microsoft work ok none fails

[donttalktome929]

He's a salesman, I think IanTBH was joking. The guy on the video works for Tiger Direct, which sells computer hardware and shit. Notice he doesn't mention any of the downsides of it and doesn't rate it. He also mentions Vista Ultimate like its a good thing.

[oldarney]

got any better suggestions?? it runs a better os any other cellphone on the market. and nobody said you cant slip ina copy of win7 or jolycloud.

[supermaucat]

PSA: OQO went out of business and they're not honoring warranty anymore.

RIP OQO.

[modman1234567]

i wonder if you can play Team Fortress 2 with this thing

[HazRutter26]

No of course you cant?

[Dojza14]

you probably can you can run cs and half life

[donttalktome929]

Doubt it, 1 Gig of ram can hardly run vista business.

[Erevansky]

Jordan Farmar is selling electronics? lol

[drumzstix666]

This may be cool but its better to have a smartphone with Microsoft Office in it which lasts 3 days not just 7 hours ex: Sony Ericsson Xperia. I don't really see the point of this thing, without the phone option its pointless.

[mukatuna]

1.5GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM, Vista is going to be painfully slow on this thing. Would be much better if it came with XP or Linux.

[cha0skain]

THIS GUYS A BEAST !

[ChazZeromus]

Wasn't this thing developed when tegra was still promoting? Shame, it would have been best buddie's with tegra.

[ChazZeromus]

I looked up it's x86 based CPU, the VIA VX700 CPU is most of a modern chipset integrated in one along with it's own brand of graphics acceleration as a GPU core. The specs say it can play a WMV9 HD, so I guess you'll be getting HD but not anywhere near as beautiful as full HD like 1080.

[AxLstyle]

to bad the company is shutting down...no more repair or support

[mukatuna]

It was a very expensive niche product. Caught between smart phones and cheap netbooks. OQO just couldn't sell enough to be profitable.

I certainly couldn't justify paying $1000 or more on a device like this. And not many others could either.

[NOOGUMS]

It comes with windows ultimate?!

...fail.

[CassieDynomite]

its not a tocuch screen....gross its a worthless brick.

[antibs99]

the 2+ has a OLED touch screen and also 3G, GPS

[drumzstix666]

WTF?! this was in Fast and Furious 4 holy shit toe! that' fucked but cool!

[rellik410]

i have 1 of them

[qwertisdirty]

1 grand and no front camera for video chat WTF

[mrjspeed]

don't be fulled by the HDMI connection. while it might be able to show a desktop at 1900x1080, it definitely can NOT play 1080p media. Just not enough power.

[qwertisdirty]

yeh not digital bluray, but 1080p using a file format like dvi is possible, if theirs no bloatware, but you'd be right in saying other system's could beat this in performance for 1080p playback, and this technically can also do 1200 by 1920 content aswell

[DarkTrond]

Logan is a genuous

[pigballs911]

how bout internet? LOL no point in really using it if u cant connect

[BrailynHimself]

use the wireless..and the Ethernet port on the dock or adapter.

[Joaovitordecezaro]

logan is the best!!!

[Briault]

omg!!! gimmeh!!

¡

[thomastass]

i want i want.....

[TheWater911]

The price is the reason the UX (Micro PC) has gotten further. Though I do appreciate this too, it just dosen't have all your I/Os.

[BIindsid3]

1,800 was the lowest I could find for it, and its another 600 for the docking station,... wtf?

[ExoticCritters]

try ebay. they have some prtty cheap, even if it has a few scratches

[astrrivas]

how much does it cost and where can you buy it?

[kooodeal]

Gee ,this being a Tigerdirect ad,maybe at Tiger Direct dotcom.and they got to be over $1000. maybe under $2000

[alexandgruntz]

That resolution is higher than my Eee 701 - which only goes up to 800x480.

I WANT ONE.

[blackdaan]

Dude gee next time better details plz

[retepvosnul]

Just goes to show that reviewing gear is NOT the same as using it... What a useless gadget..

[Yephenpeace]

the way they could make that thing perfect wuld be if they put a webcam on it

, like built in to it.

[lobextomy]

I'll just get an acer aspire, for 300 dollars....

[retrostringbean]

is this oqo model 2+?

[unzarjones]

no, it's the older 02 model

[retrostringbean]

where do you buy it from?

[InsaneNellyCakes]

god I want one! T^T

[xmenyuan]

it's powerful, but it's freakin' pricy.

[nahed95]

nice video.But can i bye an OQO model 2 with touchscreen???

[krogers3454]

in may, OQO model 2+. go to there website for more info.

[HeWhoBreaks]

I MISS LOGAN

[Mrcabe]

Me too, me too

[DjFreshmatic]

i'd buy one if it comes with mac os

[renofury]

probably you can, installed leopard on an old amd pc but is mainly dependent on the chipset and cpu

[GaradrielS]

how mutch does this think costs???

[verty46]

on ebay they range from 900-5000 dollars.

[Roflcoptinator]

dammmmmmmmn

[Roflcoptinator]

This thing is stupid, just get an iphone, you can also make phone calls on it. ooh beat that.

[drawer77]

who is stupid ? i wear shoes and i can buy a car as well

[EpsilonMK12]

on the site they range from 2100 to 3100.... whats the better deal?

[DjSkyy17]

soooo is this like a perfect device for a virtual dj software, because i do hassle alot with my laptop at clubs....all i need is one usb connection and the rest is call cables of my tables....would i be able to still work with it with no slow process...or should i jst stick with my laptops?>?

[snoopt3]

wow hdmi

[contele24]

too bad it doesn`t have phone too....i think it could be handy

[gunz4kidz]

just get skype on it

[tyui75]

Good idea. AND only 32gb disk space...He wasnt goin to mention that lol

[Tybyro]

When you buy this you have 2 MUST DO things:

1 format

2 install XP

[charpmike35]

vista ultimate. Seriously. Most full sized laptops can't handle Vista.

[xSyl3nc3x]

Yeah, and he said it has 1gb of ram.. for vista.. lol

[prasangabas]

1 G is not enough, it take around 600mb just for vista.

[OmegaFuckingWeapon]

1gb is plenty of ram for vista.. i should know.. i have a pc with 512 running ultimate fine

[prasangabas]

well, its good if u are only running vista, but u need more free ram. u cannot use lot of programs.

[OmegaFuckingWeapon]

nah sp1 doesnt take up much ram anymore....

[roalliance10]

i wanna destroy 32k barrels at Crysis with this laptop. Should I?

[mexchico17]

sure, if you want to destroy your laptop in the process lol

[bigballa102]

which is better oqo model 2 or the sony vaio ux

[AdilPatanker9]

OQO Model 2

[misanthropicbadger]

Ive got an 02 and a UX380. The OQO is way nicer to hold and look at but the UX is quite a lot more powerfull. I couldnt make up my mind hence I ended up with both.

[Raptorsrscarzy]

hahaha so pathetic 1gb of ram and a 1.5 ghz processor other than that its ok but i could build a laptop that has double that with less than this thing costs

[runie360]

good luck fitting it in your pocket

can u build it as little as this thing is, anyone could build it for cheaper duh, or you like a f tard god, i hate people who think there smart and make dumb ass coments like this wtf
