OQO 02 fire sale!
It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of OQO’s current flagship UMPC, the OQO 02. It’s also no secret, however, that the OQO 02 usually ain’t cheap. Prices obviously vary depending on configuration, but you can expect to pay about $1,850 for a model with XP Professional, 1.5 GHz processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 60GB hard drive. Not crazy expensive, but certainly out of the "casual purchase" realm. Thankfully, Tiger Direct is selling these bad boys off at a discount. Factoring in a $780 instant discount, your final price comes to….wait for it….$1,069.99! That’s honestly insane for one of the hottest UMPC-type devices on the market. No idea how many they have or how long this deal will last, so you best get over there with the quickness!

Nice discount, but it doesn’t make it look any less ugly =\
Looks like teh boys and girls over at OQO finally got their hands on an ASUS Eee PC and they don’t like the writing on the wall.
Sangged one with the additional battery. What a deal! Thanks for the tip!
Michael, I dont thing you got a 2nd battery, but instead a brick of a main battery….I called them on that….
They’ll be coming out w/ a new model in a few days, hence the fire sale.
Brian- I checked, you’re right. I stand corrected. Thanks!
That is a great discount. I’ll still wait for it to come down even more. I know it’ll be way obsolete by then but what can I say, I’m a bit cheap.
Btw, this new AJAX comment preview is sloooooooow.
Mine just arrived, and it DID include both the standard and extended batteries. All for $1089.96. Just wanted to post this update for clarity.
Why send so much money on something so ugly?
Heh. Looks like it failed horribly.
no wonder they’re fireselling them, it’s a terrible product. I’ve been using one for 1.5 years, I have 5X the cost of the unit in tech support and repairs. Vista on the solid state drive was a joke, you can’t run multiple email accounts without the system slowing down to tortoise-esque speeds, the Flash issue still isn’t resolved and crashes the system every time it’s encountered, the ports on the dock crap out so multiple monitors can’t be used and tech support, if you can get them to actually work on an issue, is so clueless my guys end up teaching them how to problem solve. It’s a nice novelty and great conversation starter, but definitely not a reliable work tool. My advice, stay as far away as possible.
