Computer History Archives Project (CHAP) | My Laptop Computer DEC HiNote Laptop 1994 (Digital Equipment, 486, Pentium, Intel, Compaq, PC) @ComputerHistoryArchivesProject | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Maybe not very “vintage” yet, but a very enjoyable and Jazzy 2 minute commercial and 30 second info spot by Digital (before it was bought by Compaq) featuring its popular “HiNote” LAPTOP series introduced in 1994. The HiNote computers were made between 1994 and 2002 in VP and Ultra models, based on the i486, Pentium, Pentium MMX and Pentium II. The 1994 HiNote Laptop was priced from $1,699 to $4,399. The Ultra model sold for $2,099 to $4,999. Digital Equipment Corporation, originally co-founded in 1957 by Ken Olsen, Harlan Anderson and Ken's brother Stan Olsen was acquired by Compaq in 1998. Compaq itself was acquired for $25 billion by HP in 2002. That same year, the HiNote was phased out. (Note: a $4,000 laptop in 1994 would cost over $7,500 today) Nice music and graphics. Total run time: 3 mins.
