Hello all,
Up for sale is a lightly used OQO 02 UMPC. If you are familiar with the OQO, you will know it is in fact the pioneer of UMPCs which surpass ordinary netbooks in both weight and size while maintaining enough computing power to run Windows Vista comfortably. In fact, it has been touted as the smallest Windows Vista PC in the world. This means it can obviously run Windows 7 since 7 is more resource conscious than Vista, but this OQO 02 originally came with (and still runs) and OEM Windows XP Pro; a CD and key are included. The magnesium-alloy casing reduces weight while maintaining strengthened structural integrity with proper cooling elements.
Its specs are as follows:
- VIA C7-M 1.5GHz Processor
- 1GB DDR2 RAM
- 60GB Hard Drive
- 5" 800x480 Wacom Penabled digitizer slide screen with 1000x600 and 1024x768 interpolation modes
- VGA, 10/100 ethernet through included dongle
- 1 USB port, native HDMI port, 3.5mm audio jack
- capcitive touch vertical and horizontal slider bars
- Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g wifi built in
- built-in NovaTel EVDO modem, works with Telus x1 cell system, or Verizon or Sprint in the US
- intuitive trackstick mouse with light-sensitive backlit thumb keyboard
- 5.6" x 3.3" x 1.0" @ less than 1lb
- 3-hour battery with fuel gauge indicator
- included screen protector
Unfortunately, OQO has now gone out of business, so this UMPC is very rare. Also, because of this the specs for the 02 (not the 02+) are no longer on their website. The digitizer will work along with the mouse simultaneously if need be, but the digitizer pen is not included since it never came with one. These can be found on eBay under the "Wacom Penabled" system. The screen has higher brightness and picture quality than my Dell 24" desktop LCD. The screen slides over the keyboard when the keyboard and mouse are not required, ie. when a digitizer pen is being used.
The original unit comes with all boxes and manuals, an AC adapter, a standard 3-hour battery, the VGA/ethernet dongle, Windows XP Pro OEM plus documentation, and all boxes.
However, included also are the following accessories:
CD/DVD-R/3xUSB port multiplier/HDMI/audio in/out docking station, designed to be raised or lowered as needed and normally retails for ~$400, more here (http://www.oqo.com/products/docking_station/index.html)
1 x extended battery, twice as thick as the standard battery but lasts around 6 hours.
1 x additional AC adapter
1 x car DC input adapter
1 x Bluetooth folding keyboard
1 x aluminum armour case
1 x standalone battery charger (normally, all battery charging occurs through the OQO itself)
1 x mesh bag for accessories
Paid $1500 for the UMPC itself a year ago, and around $700 for the accessories including the dock.
Condition of everything is stellar as I baby this thing, and there are no scratches or anything anywhere except on the aluminum armour case which takes the brunt of everything while protecting the UMPC inside with padding. Come see for yourselves.
Asking $1300.
Photos will be posted tomorrow.
