OQO Model 01 Reviewed: The Heavies Weigh In

By

Reading time 1 minute

The OQO Model 01, finally having moved from the realm of vapor into the waiting hands of eager dweebs, is still the smallest ‘full PC’ yet (despite having been announced some 2390 years ago), complete with hard drive, FireWire, USB, QWERTY keyboard, and Windows XP Pro or Home—no CE here. But that doesn’t mean it’s worth the almost $2,000 you have to drop to own it. Tom Mainelli from PCWorld gives her an underwhelmed whirl and it seems that, while pretty cool, the OQO may not live up to the company’s hype (surprise!). Pogue and Mossberg don’t seem blown away, either.
