The Sony PCG _U1_:
a more-or-less handheld Windows PC, which was sold only in Japan
but distributed in the US by Dynamism in Chicago (which
later morphed into a 3D printing company, weirdly).
The U1's small form factor jived with my growing travel schedule.
It was a bit large for a handheld and a bit small for a
laptop, but its wow factor was off the charts at the time.
A few years later, Sony would also go small with the P series,
pictured _ahead_, and the
_UX_,
not in this gallery but comparable to the OQO
_ahead_.
