Its strange how we can fit pcs inside literal toasters that are more powerful than this one, yet this is so much more impressive got to love early tech.

Could you imagine working from home in the 90s with this workhorse? Taking calls on a headset and cruising the web. Living in the damn future.

14:19 I love how the slow LCD response makes the personaware startup looks darn smooth

-Where is the SIM card? -I feel too old for this. I need one of those in my life. It's so cyberpunk...

I would love to see that thing next to a modern smartphone for scale. It's pretty cool to see the kind of miniaturization they were able to pull off in the 90s!

When a Mommy Thinkpad and a Daddy Thinkpad love each other very much.... this is the result

Your videos are so calming. It doesn't much matter the topic, I always like watching while I'm working on stressful work at home. Thank you.

I use an old "Phone Line Simulator" for my phone line needs. Very handy. Skutch makes one as well as Viking Electronics. Sometimes can be a little pricey. But invaluable for old computers. Believe it or not I use my Skutch to transfer files to/from old PC's. Like a traditional modem connection but with my own phone lines. Phone guys used to use them for testing back in the day.

8:36 - I like that the phamplet folds as the palm top opens on the picture :) 11:50 - I'm about your age so maybe that's why I understood the phone part without explanation. You showed the port where the RJ11 cable goes and it was enough for me to get what's going on.

I wish the GPD Win makers and Lenovo could work together and make a new one of these happen. Surely some anniversary is near.

Lovely little machine, I'm glad you managed to get one of your own!

Still by far one of my favorite small computers I've ever seen. Love the form factor a lot.

blerbs are like the crunchy bits you find at the bottom of a bucket of popcorn chicken

I have an OBI200 device that creates a home phone line from a Google Voice account. It lets me have a home phone with no monthly cost. I actually spliced it in to the phone lines for my whole house and it still works just fine on all the extensions.

Hi Clint! Keep awesome vids going! You are doing wonderful job! As for your question about boot process on 15:00 of this vid, the reason it is displaying Win95 splash screen is because it is part of IO.SYS of DOS 7.0. In other words - this software seem to be just sitting there as last option in autoexec.bat and interrupts the standard boot process of Windows 95 - as DOS part boots, then it runs this toolset and once you click start Windows 95 it just finishes execution of autoexec.bat and continues to boot Windows. :)

This is definitely one of those things that I would have thought was cool as a kid or a teenager but in retrospect was incredibly expensive and without severe modification isn't in any way relevant anymore. Only 25 years ago yet it feels more like 50 years as tech has progressed so fast.

XLink bluetooth gateway will let you plug it in and use it as a phone, the XLink will link to your modern cell phone with bluetooth.

You know how there are little miniature displays of tents to show you what a tent looks like? This looks like a laptop miniature display! 😄

I have a Grandstream VOIP box that I use with a 1940s phone my grandfather had in his workshop when I was a kid. It is a great way to bring some very old tech back to life.

Nice video as always Clint!

With all the focus on palms these days, I'd love to see a review or at least a blerb on the HP Journada. Loved that thing...

I had this when I was in college in 1998. I still remember the face of my classmate when I brought this tiny PC to class for presentation. It can run window 95 and office 95 smoothly and I even have a CD Rom for it.

Oh man I love this stuff...because I didn't have to freaking pay for it! Precious cargo! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE EXPERIENCES!!!

I remember having a PC of this generation, and having a few large apps, too many in fact to all fit on my hard drive at once. But I also had a SCSI port and an external SCSI zip drive. So what I did was dedicate a zip disk for each catagory of application. For example, I installed Corel Draw 6 and paint shop pro to one of them. And a second one was dedicated to programming, with compilors and assembler/editors etc. Because it was a SCSI device it ran almost as fast as my internal system drive.

I can't blame you for loving it, I do too. I had no idea these even existed until you did that video on your main channel. Such a cool little computer, can you add the extra RAM? edit: should have waited, cool that someone maxed it out. Apparently an overclock is possible too!

9:09 Somewhere in Japan, a tiny little asian man is so thrilled that somebody finally noticed.

I don't know but I have this different level of excitement watching videos exploring old techs like this even though I have no experiences of using them...

Holy moly I am in love with the colors and aesthetics of the manuals that came with the PC110. Delightful. edit: yeah, whoever designed the manuals and pamphlets.... I'd love to see some more things they designed. Once again, delightful.

You could use a voip box such as a cisco SPA112 and a free voip service to make a phone line. The SPA112 also has an RJ11 socket you can use the phone line cable you have to connect to it.

I’d love to see an LGR longplay of any kind on this awesome little computer.

Very cool! Reminds me of a mini version of the DEC 486 laptop I had in high school, with the DSTN screen. There was a DOS racing game I used to play during breaks, I think it was called Big Red Racing. Really wish I hadn't given it away after I finished school. If it helps with the screen, you can definitely get polarisation film that's not too dark, possibly even self-adhesive. It's the kind designed for windows.

For hooking up the phone you could use something like a Cisco ATA (Analog Telephony Adapter), they're usually used in a Voice over IP system for connecting things like analog phones, fax machines, and yes, modems, to a modern VoIP system. The cisco one has two ports, and can be configured to call between the two phone jacks with a fake number Anyways, great video =)

I get a rush of nostalgia every time I hear the win95 startup music.

That AdLib tracker song was so kickass!

That short little midi loop at the end is a BOP tho

I want that just to run that adLib tracker on it, looked really cool. Would probably leave it in kitchen to make occasionally some chip tunes:DDD great video btw!

If you want to test the landline functionality, you can get a bluetooth to RJ11 adapter. These basically work as a headset to your cell phone and provide a usable landline connection. Ive even used these to dialup into a BBS. For digital purposes you cant get to 28.8-56K speeds (probably from the digital cell phone compression or something) but should work fine for voice.

Ya know, I'm not that old but I am really glad that I wasn't born any later. I got to experience the "old ways" for long enough that I still remember using landlines, VHS tapes, audio cassettes, and stuff like that. Where my mid '90s kids at?

I go crazy seeing miniature versions of things, and I'm loving this tiny laptop. lol

10:00 Love the section on page 6-2 where it says: "あれ？おかしいなと思ったあら". IBM Japan sure had you covered when a whole section is titled: "in case you are thinking: huh? this is strange!"

"Oh no, I failed the young'uns." No LGR, no, we failed you.

The laptop... IT IS SO TINY!

Wow... Hover... Man you bring me back... Gees I feel old too now

Immediately began looking for that quick start pamphlet, need that for my wall!

I want that music at the end that was awesome!!!

When he is saying it's so small when he is shooting the screen. And I watch it on a 4k 55 inch TV and I am like it's huge whatcha talking about! 😂

I remember seeing these in Sunnyvale CA back in the 90’s. Fry’s was in their second location and two surplus places were nearby. One of them importing and selling them Grey Market. Cool machine!

I'm pretty sure I watched the original LGR video and I think it's awesome you liked it so much that you bought one for yourself. More people need to know just how long age we had a real smartphone. And that IBM made two different models BEFORE Apple, or even Blackberry and Handspring were even sold on the idea. 💁🏻‍♂️📱

Wow, with this, you can use an SD card camera attached to a PCMCIA adapter to take photos and upload the mid-90's laptop selfies to a BBS!

Neat little computer! And that music at the end should be available on iTunes! Maybe it is?

9:12, glad I'm not the only one that loves little details like that!

A framed full length PC110 guide is peak nerd king decor. Kind of want one.

That "Yeah" after you said "Paint Shop Pro" sounded like a Frank West impression.

When you learn LGR doesn't have a landline 😲

The front port with the headset suggests to me the four pole stereo-plus-mic that most modern phones use. You can also buy adapters that separate the stereo head and mic sections.

Very cool little lap top.

This thing is so cool.

7:21 Left: "Utility Diskette 1" Right: "System Install Diskette" 8:41 Upper left corner: "Actual sized diagram"

Nice way to get my Monday going

Great small machine, I love hardware from IBM.

What song is that at the end? Giving me awesome nostalgic vibes from my Amiga 500 days =D

Okay, I'm somewhat of a geek, that's cool. I love seeing the unique form factors that competed in the market. I get them, explore, etc. and eventually face the question. What am I gonna DO with it? So I move them on.

Fantastic track at the end. I had to download it.

That windows 95 startup takes me back ☺️

I'd be interested to see you cover the replacement of the polarization filter. Maybe there's even a replacement TFT out there?

Who knew feeling old would happen in mid-30s?

Such a neat laptop, I would want one with the exact same case, but new OS and hardware.

Why am I not surprised you ended up buying one for yourself. Good man! 🤓😎👍

I am shocked, shocked I say, that you didn't try to run doom or duke on it.

I was wondering about the colour of those buttons when I saw the twitter picture! I know there are at least two different revisions of the keyboard, I am not sure if they were different colours from manufacturing or if it is a coincidence.

These mini IBM laptops are amazing

man, Hover hit the nostalgia so hard for me right now :D

I'm still discovering "new" Sierra On-Line games

If you leave that laptop unattended, the bomb squad will arrive and probably try to disarm it🤯

Hey Clint, I never knew this channel existed until....17 seconds ago, KZfaq finally let me know about it!

One man’s high pixel response time is another man’s free motion-blur

I knew he’d be getting one of these after watching the original video lol i would if i could. neat little machine

Once again, knowledge makes me feel old. Because I know how a land line phone works and I'm even old enough to have used rotary dial phones in my youth. 😐

This feels like an ancient GPD model, it looks so funky

it's amazing to see that a working one with the trimmings you reviewed is going for 850 euro's (1000 USD.) Holy cow man!

I’ll be honest, despite my parents using a landline I almost forgot they exist

Ah, so this is why you were looking for a Japanese release of Duke 3D!

the first Palm laptop before Palm laptops were a thing I'm impressed by this item I would want one too I don't blame you for getting one

Man oh man these things are amazing.

I love how even into the more modern generation of ThinkPads you still have the IBM mantra of "business computer? Put a phone in it!"

I'm here for the music

You can get the bend out by taking the layer out, putting it between two sheets of plastic (like celluloid), and rolling it up not-too-tightly so the top overlaps the bottom. Then leave it for a few weeks. That could "iron it out".

A magicjack uses a regular phonejack. I used one to test an old Panasonic answering machine and old rotary phone ringer. You can test a phone ringer with one of those. It's basically a "landline" for your PC.

Woah man, where did you get it, love this stuff, big fan btw

"where does it get a signal" lmao

I would recommend a VoIP adapter like the Cisco SPA112. Then you can make phone calls and even setup your own "ISP" connecting via a modem to your LAN.

Clint, You can use a raspberry PI to emulate a phone line for old machines to simulate an old dial-up modem, I guess that'd work with this machine to test it's ringer if you manually sent a ring command. You can either use the serial emulator for PI to get a p2p connection over serial or if you wanted to truly emulate a PSTN you would need a Cisco SPA112 or similar which will simulate the line so you can directly connect the PC to a "phone line". Good reads if you're interested in killing time :D

Am I the only one who gestures back to Clint when he salutes at the beginning of a Blerb? 😂

Ah, the ultimate Phantom Cat-capturing palm PC! (IBM PC 110 were featured prominently in the 1998 anime 'Geobreeders'.)

Nice to see another Lode Runner guy! I thought I was alone.

The music is so awesome!

I spy a crack in that Paintshop Pro installation~

This is the '90s equivalent to the GPD Win.

i'm sick and this is comfy, thanks

Hey, Clint! Awesome video as always, but wanted to ask something... (two things actually.) What is that monitor you use? I love the design and would love keeping an eye out for one myself! And the other thing: Do you think you'll ever cover the old win 95/98 Toshiba Satellite laptops? You got one in a fan unboxing thing (I think) and I've never seen it covered! The reason I ask... That was my first laptop. As a kid someone from church gave me this old grey monster with a green trackpoint-ish mouse in the center, a CD-ROM drive, and a floppy drive dongle. It also had this weird flat base thing but... We always thought it was the battery. I now think it could have been some form of dock! (Kinda like this laptop has!) Keep up the blerbs my friend!
