I think they're super uncommon in the west.

I think they're also super useless, to be honest. Incredibly slow. Linux support continued to degrade the entire time I owned mine. The keyboard and display are far too small to be usable. The graphics chip accelerates basically nothing.

I sold mine [1] on eBay back in October. I hope the new owner enjoys it more than I did :)

Yoooo, small world! I'm the guy in Hawaii who bought it from you :)

I haven't done anything too exciting with it yet, still have to get around to seeing if T2 SDE works on it, but it's joined me a number of times on trips to the library for writing, and it's been delightful for that. The keyboard is surprisingly good, and it feels like a supercomputer compared to a WorkPad Z50, hah.

Thanks for having taken such good care of it!

I have one stashed away. Bought it from a Dutch importer in the late 2000s. I also ran OpenBSD on it for a while.
