I remember way back when these things were first announced and I wanted to get one, because back then a portable computer was something I didn't have and $100 was a great price for it. But since then, and before this thing even came out, there was a flood of cheap netbooks, chromebooks, etc. While it was a great concept when it was announced, the industry as a whole made it pretty much obsolete before it even launched.

I still kinda wouldn't mind having one anyway though. Their cheapness is nothing special, but I understand they're built to be rugged which makes them still kinda cool. Chromebooks and so on are cheap, but flimsy. So there might still be some niche for these.

werent they intended to be used in thirdworld countries? i almost bought one from a friend of mine when I was big into linux.

Interesting. Never heard of this one. Seems like it definitely predates the MSX/HitBit era. But it’s got those micro floppies. I’m guessing 82/83? Was it ever sold in the US?

wow that's nice. what OS is that?

DS.

NeXT.

nta but i think that's solaris running an environment called SunView, a predecessor to CDE. What's also interesting is the Macintosh Application Environment, a fully featured 68k mac emulator released by Apple themselves to make it easier for developers to develop for the mac from a more serious workstation.

Apple's shitty cheap chicklet keyboards are what everyone else copied and the reason we can't have nice laptops anymore. the only "good" chiclet keyboard is the ThinkPads, and they're like a 4/10.

Apple's keyboards are ass

Greatest piece of hardware I ever had the privilege of owning.

>>5036822
Unihertz makes specialty modern android phones with less common features, including physical keyboards. Specifically targeting Blackberry fans.

>>5036908
It's over for them.

>>5036761
i miss transparent tech

>>5036940
That's also Unihertz, they just released what I would call a "normal sized phone" (except twice as thick for some reason). Remember back in like 2013-2017 when they made normal sized phones? Before they switched to making exclusively "Too big to be a useful phone, too small to be a useful tablet". Been waiting for that fad to die for years.

Anyways, the Jelly max is transparent, and normal sized, with modern hardware/OS while still being (relatively) inexpensive.

I didn't know about it until just now and if it wasn't that thick I'd be buying it instantly, but now I'm on the fence.

Also I'm excluding Apple phones from the "normal size" discussion, because I've never felt comfortable enough with my sexuality to genuinely consider if I'd like sucking dick, and that's a prerequisite to owning Apple hardware.

>>4999823
I fucking love this design, even though I don't like the console itself or the games it ran, for the most part. But it looks really cool.

>>5036908
I had a Titan for a while. Good phone, but I eventually needed something faster.

While a 400 is certainly a step up from nothing, if you were well off and could afford it, the 800 was massively superior.

Unfortunately, since the 400 had a larger install base, devs would typically design their stuff for that, and those programs would also work on the 800 but wouldn't take full advantage of its added features.

Nonetheless, the 800's actual real keyboard is definitely a massive improvement over the membrane keyboard of the 400.

i'm not saying it does not exist, bul some of the keys, and the logos on the right, are just botched upscaling

These and this are the most aesthetic beige computers of all time, just wish the "Plus", "Power PC" etc. crap wasn't there, just the word "Macintosh" would be enough

>>5070355
Throwback.

Don't forget the black one

>>5070360
That would be extremely easy to photoshop out.

>>5072751
I don't have photoshop, could you do it?

>>5070360
What's annoying about it is there actually seems to be a version of this with "Macintosh" written below the Apple logo, I can only find low res pics of it though

>>5073064

>>5073070
That looks a lot more aesthetic, vaporwave ready

>>5073076
I would have made one more change...but eh, it's fine

>>5073078
Do you mean how far the text is away from the Apple? That bothers me more than I thought it would have lol

>>5073114
>Fixed

>>5073118
Now that's perfect

>>5073120
But wrong. The white space around the apple logo belongs to that logo as well.

Bought the BASIC cartridge, learned BASIC, got a "Computer Programming Assistant II" position at Hughes Aircraft Company, wrote code for engineering applications and parleyed it into an engineering position, retired at 55 as a "Senior Principal Engineer" with a $2.6M pension.
Thanks Bally!

Its a shame Nintendo didn't keep their promises with that 64DD thing. If it had come out in the west instead of just in Japan, and if it had come out years earlier in the N64's life instead of at the tail end of it then it might have succeeded. This would have addressed a lot of the issues the N64 had with lack of storage space on the cartridges. While it isn't the same amount of storage as what a CD has, it still would have been a lot more than what the carts alone could do, so some stuff like FMV (though not as much) could have been done to some extent in the games. Maybe we'd have seen a lot more RPGs on the system instead of barely any. Maybe Nintendo wouldn't have lost the support of Square and others at this time. Who knows?

This would have helped, but it came way too late and even then only in Japan. Nintendo promised much more than what they delivered.

Oh yeah, and unlike CDs these disks were rewritable so that's another thing too. Would have had a lot of potential for user made content. We'll never know the full extent of what might have been.

>>5087455
As much as it -could- have helped, I honestly don't think, as the 64DD was, it would have made a huge impact. Even with cart's limited space, the 4k of ram, etc. Where Nintendo really missed the ball was in supporting the 3rd party developers. Just like Sega's Saturn over-engineered where Sega did not help other devs in bringing the actual full potential (like getting actual transparency working) of the Saturn. Nintendo really needed to share in the more advanced SGI-stuff in the N64 (like micro-code) instead of keeping it for themselves and a select few devs. What the N64 needed was more devs that actually had somewhat of an understanding of how the silicon in the machine needed to be run so that the games could actually flow and fill in the many weak line-ups the N64 had, sometimes across it's entire life like the lack of RPGs in the system while the other two consoles (Even the Saturn!) were swimming in them, and thus give the competition a harder time

As for the 64DD itself, I really feel it was too little of an add-on even if it had came out much earlier in the N64 life. Nintendo really needed to go all out and crazy on it and making it a truly worthy life-extending add-on, that's its to say, even more ram, actual 3D-boosting power on it or flat out turning the N64 into a SGI-Lite as if it was a INDY64 line of computers. Pic kind of related as, if the 64DD had actual SGI tech in it, even more RAM in the RAM expansion and the right stuff in the Dev-Cart, the N64 can reach surprising new levels of use.

>>5088168
also I feel like they should call it something else like the "Nintendo 128" so it's not a wii/wii u kind of situation where parents think its just some minor accessory

a termostat...
