Fascinating Look Back at the HP OmniBook 800CT, a Laptop from 1997 with a Strange Mouse

Back in 1997, the HP OmniBook 800CT laptop would have set you back a hefty $4,750 USD ($9,109 today), and you can still pick one up for around half that on eBay. What really set it apart from the competition was its strange mouse that could be ejected from the right side at the push of a button.

Other features included an Intel Pentium MMX 166 MHz processor, 16MB of EDO RAM, a 4GB HDD, NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV graphics card with 2MB of video memory, and up to 3-hours of continuous use when fully charged. This followup to the Omnibook 600 had the system software loaded on an internal hard disk (under the right side of the front of the keyboard), rather than on a PCMCIA hard disk.

Xebec Snap Lets You Add Two 13.3″ Monitors to Nearly Any Laptop in Seconds

Triple monitor setups are nothing new, but lugging them around isn’t practical to say the least, that is unless…you’re talking a bout the Xebec Snap. Available in Dual-Screen and Tri-Screen variants, both enable you to add 13.3-inch (1920 x 1080) Snap Screen displays in seconds to just about any modern laptop (Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and Linux).

Snap Screens connect to a single Snap Bracket that securely attaches to the back of any laptop using the company’s patented tensioning design, thus eliminating the need to apply magnets or adhesives. The Snap Bracket can then be connected to a laptop using the integrated USB cables, with just one needed per monitor. Pre-orders have already started shipping, and it should soon be available directly from Xebec, priced at $999 USD for the Tri-Screen option. Need a more all-in-one solution? There’s the BIGBME B251.

The Xebec Snap is born out of our relentless pursuit of empowering users to be more productive and creative, no matter where they work. We’ve listened to our customers’ feedback and are excited that the combination of our modular design, larger screens, and Xebec Snap technology creates a product that is truly one of a kind, offering a workspace like never before,” said Alex Levine, Co-founder and CEO of Xebec.
