- A Palmtop PC was an approximately pocket calculator-sized, battery-powered computer compatible with the IBM Personal Computer in a horizontal clamshell design with integrated keyboard and display. It could be used like a subnotebook, but was light enough to be comfortably used handheld as well. Most Palmtop PCs were small enough to be stored in a user's shirt or jacket pocket. Palmtop PCs distinguish from other palmtop computers by using a mostly IBM-compatible PC architecture and BIOS as well as an Intel-compatible x86 processor. All such devices were DOS-based, with DOS stored in ROM. While many Palmtop PCs came with a number of PDA and office applications pre-installed in ROM, most of them could also run generic, off-the-shelf PC software with no or little modifications. Some could also run other operating systems such as GEOS, Windows 1.0-3.0 (in Real mode only), or MINIX 2.0. Most Palmtop PCs were based on a static hardware design for low power consumption and instant-on/off without the need to reboot. Depending on the model, the battery could power the device for a period ranging from several hours up to several days while running, or between a week and a year in standby mode. Combined with the instant-on/off feature, a battery would typically last from a week up to several months in practical use as PDA. The first Palmtop PC was the DIP Pocket PC (aka Atari Portfolio) in 1989. Palmtop PCs include:
* DIP Pocket PC (DIP DOS 2.11, 1989)
* Atari Portfolio (DIP DOS 2.11, 1989)
* Poqet PC Classic (MS-DOS 3.3, 80C88, 1989)
* Poqet PC Prime (MS-DOS 3.3, 80C88)
* Poqet PC Plus (MS-DOS 5.0, NEC V30)
* ZEOS Pocket PC (MS-DOS 5.0, 1991)
* Sharp PC-3000 (MS-DOS 3.3, 1991)
* Sharp PC-3100 (MS-DOS 3.3, 1991)
* Hewlett-Packard 95LX (MS-DOS 3.22, NEC V20, 1991)
* Hewlett-Packard 100LX (MS-DOS 5.0, 80186-compatible HP Hornet, 1993)
* Hewlett-Packard Palmtop FX (MS-DOS 5.0, 80186-compatible HP Hornet, 1993)
* Hewlett-Packard 200LX (MS-DOS 5.0, 80186-compatible HP Hornet, 1994)
* Hewlett-Packard 1000CX (MS-DOS 5.0, 80186-compatible HP Hornet)
* Hewlett-Packard OmniGo 700LX (MS-DOS 5.0, 80186-compatible HP Hornet, 1996) Some touch-screen computers may also be included in this category:
* Hewlett-Packard OmniGo 100 (Datalight ROM-DOS+PEN/GEOS 2.1, NEC V30HL-compatible Vadem VG230, 1993)
* Hewlett-Packard OmniGo 120 (DOS+PEN/GEOS, NEC V30HL-compatible Vadem VG230) (en)
- パームトップPC は、およそ掌（パーム）の上に収まるサイズの電池駆動式のPCである。ここで特にPCとは、IBM互換PCを指す。一般的な掌サイズのコンピュータはパームトップコンピュータと呼ばれる。デザインは、ノートPCよりもひとまわり小さい横長のクラムシェル型筐体に、ディスプレイとキーボードが備わっていた。多くのパームトップPCはジャケットのポケットに収まるサイズである。 (ja)
- Palmtop (handflatedator), en analogi till laptop, är en typ av handdator. Medan handdator är ett mer generellt begrepp för alla slags handhållna datorer brukar en palmtop vara utrustad med tangentbord och ha många likheter med större datorer. Ofta, men inte nödvändigtvis, är palmtopen kompatibel med större persondatorer. (sv)
