In the early 2000s, the tech landscape was a playground of unique and eccentric devices. From unconventional smartphones to peculiar tablets and PCs, the variety was both vast and vibrant. Fast forward to today, and although the market has become more homogenized, certain innovations continue to challenge the status quo. Enter the OmniOne Pocket PC, a compact tablet with Windows OS and a physical keyboard, offering a fresh take on what portable computing can be.

Power-Packed Features
Equipped with an Intel Processor N150, the OmniOne does not compromise on performance. Buyers can select from a range of configurations, offering between 8 to 32 GB of RAM and storage options from 128 GB up to 1 TB.

Cooling is managed actively, promising steady performance over hours of use. The 16.34 Wh battery promises up to five hours of operating time, enhanced with a 35-watt fast charging feature.
Comprehensive Connectivity
Despite its compact nature, the OmniOne boasts an impressive selection of ports: two USB-A, two USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, and an RJ45 port, allowing it to interface seamlessly with various peripherals and displays. It even supports dual 4K monitor output. Additional features include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, a front-facing camera, and built-in speakers.
Currently available via a Kickstarter campaign, the OmniOne Pocket PC is priced at an accessible $360 for the base model, with deliveries slated to begin in February. This device is more than just a gadget; it’s a nod to a time when tech was daringly different, while fully catering to the needs of today’s mobile and connected lifestyles.
