The Poquet PC was a surprisingly powerful minicomputer that ran DOS. It ran off two AA batteries for weeks or months because of advanced power management features such as shutting off the CPU when it wasn't in use.
In a way the Poquet PC may look like nothing more than an advanced calculator, but it ran WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and other old DOS programs.
The Poquet PC weighed 1.2 pounds and had a 7Mhz processor and 640kb of memory. Storage space was added by the use of special PCMCIA cards that were purchased separately. It retailed for $2000.
