Would you pay $4,500 for an OQO 2+?

Posted on 17 July 2009 by



oqo2  bid I hope the answer is no, however, if yes someone has already beat you to the punch.

As you’ll recall, the OQO Model 2+ was shown off at CES 09 where it made a pretty big splash around the web with its OLED screen and Intel Atom CPU. Unfortunately OQO went under before the Model 2+ made it to market.

A pre-release model made it way onto Ebay, and the ensuing bids pushed the unit up to $4,500 for the winner. It would be pretty cool to be one of a few people to actually own a Model 2+, but I think for most of us, it would be hard to justify that price!

    of course i would…if i was rich!

    this is a collectors item since its the first pc that uses an oled display from a company that helped spearhead the umpc genre and its a pc that was never released which gives it that mysteriousness and rarity of a honus wagner baseball card.

    If I have that kind of money to spend in this kind of stuff this, absolutelly, would be my choice

  5. Brude says:

    jory’s probably selling it to pay the rent

    Having owned the previous version and not having found anything that comes close as a suitable replacement, I would definately buy it. I don’t have that kind of money though so it’s a mute point.

    I think I would NOT spend $4,500 for a OQO 2+ :) That a little bit TOO expensive ;)

  8. PlacidoDomenech says:

    When a Viliv S5 with keyboard , OLED Screen, 2 Giga, Gobi, Atom 1.86? OQO put the best in our pockets but not at a reasoneble price :(

  9. xemone says:

    Personally, I wouldn’t but I do understand why someone else would pay that much for a device that (from what I understand) was never sold by OQO itself. I’m probably just saying that ‘cuz I don’t have $4,500 burning a hole in my pocket; you know.

    But anyways congrats to the winner of the bid. You now own a one of a kind!

    They offered free shipping. How generous. :’)

    Well
    It seems that there would be market If we were all rich

  12. Jessica says:

    What’s crazy to me is that it got there with only 2 bids!

  13. ssagg says:

    I don’t think it´s price is because it´s a collector´s Item. For those who accept this screen size in sacrifice of portability it´s simply as good as a UMPC can be today

    Collectors item…LOL
    Just like the IBM mainframes are collectors items. Keep it for 10 years and put it back on Ebay with a min bid of $4501.00.
