All my items are located in and will be shipped from Virginia, USA. The IBM Palm Top PC 110 is truly unique and it stands out of the rest of the list from pretty much every aspect. Back in 1995 IBM was the most respected computer manufacturer in the western world, but in Japan they had a hard time as the Japanese always had smaller and more advanced laptops and considered the western models as "old fashioned" and "bulky". In 1995 the Japanese economy boosted so much it was pretty much "on par" with the world leader USA. So to finally claim this huge market IBM hired an army or engineers, spent a fortune and tried to develop the smallest and most advanced laptop ever. "World record or bust" was the concept. And oh boy - they succeeded. If you read my list then you already know that I normally only include computers that are small and use AA-Batteries unless there is a good reason. And for the IBM Palm Top PC 110 there are dozens of good reasons. At the time of it's release it was by far the smallest color screen notebook. It comes with a 256 color backlit VGA screen, 33 MHz 486SL processor, 4 MB base RAM (expandable to 20MB), 4MB SSD system drive, Compact Flash slot, 2 PCMCIA slots, ESS488 Sound card, internal speaker, touchpad, mouse stick, infrared port, modem and more. The machine can boot from the internal SSD, Compact Flash, PCMCIA or external FDD. It comes with a Japanese MS-DOS, but you can obviously install Windows 95, 98, 2000, OS/2, linux or others, limited only by the amount of RAM you have in the machine. And all that at such an incredibly small size that it is still impressive as of today. Hell you can even use it as a phone (no kidding). It even has a switch to turn off the ringtone if you prefer to not be disturbed. There were quite a lot of 3rd Party accessories, Hardware and stuff available for it back in the days, from the famous 20MB RAM Upgrades over faster Modems, custom colored cases, carrying bags to Speed hacks (You can Change the clock Speed from 33 to 40 MHz with some soldering). Extremely rare IBM Palm Top PC 110! Released only in Japan. Possibly your only chance to get it in this condition! COMES WITH EVEN RARER DOCKING STATION! Once it is gone, it is gone forever!
