Hey Clint, I just typed things right here.

these databanks were given by newspapers in exchange of coupons. In the 90s there was this huge coupon craze in Turkey. They gave encyclopedias,plates,stereos,crt televisions even cars. These sort of “laptops” had three different versions that different newspapers gave this one is from Sabah newspaper the ones from Hürriyet newspaper even had floppy drives.

I don't know if it still exists, but Marlboro cigarettes had something similar in the US, with a whole catalogue of items you could buy if you had "proof of purchase" of a given number of packs. Which is a crazy incentive when you think about it, "smoke more and you can get a bag or some coffee mugs!"

I dug up a sample newspaper ad from 1996: i.imgur.com/ZVeSpll.png A quick translation of the bulletpoints: The heading reads something like "Here are the supreme/superlative features of this computer" -- 1) This is the Brother PN-8500 MDS, Made in USA; 2) Software localized; 3) User's Manual available in Turkish; 4) Terminal software included, internet access with a 'standard modem'; 5) Word Processor & spreadsheet program included, "... for you to type in all manner of corresondence, reports, homework, etc."; 6) ... this bullet point says the items in the previous bullet point can be saved into memory; 7) ... this one's a comment as to how useful the spreadsheet software really is ...; 8) ... has an address book; 9) ... back to the theme of spreadsheets: It says this computer opens Lotus 1-2-3 files -- not to mention that the word processor is 'compatible with' Word, Word Perfect, and 'PW'; 10) Screen has 80 columns, 22 rows; 11) Has floppy drive; 12) ... says the computer has a 'printer interface', the parenthetical remark then explains that said 'interface' is a 'printer driver'; 13) ... features games like 'Tetis and Turnabout'; more games available through Brother resellers. This was a pretty wild period indeed for media conglomerates in the country. As to the coupon craze: We still use some of the crockery we received in the 90s through coupon clippery.

With the ability to send and receive between PC and this thing, I don't think the world of this thing is a small world after all.

This "computer" was given to people who subscribed and collected a number of coupons -like 60 or 90 pieces- from a newspaper. This kind of campaigns from newspapers at the times -90s- was very common tactic to get more sales , otherwise the newspapers themselves was mostly trash well today they are %100 trash.. :) Also people collected the coupons hoping to get a real computer because they never actually told about this being more of a PDA. At the height of this coupons craze the newspapers gave TV sets, boomboxes, various counterfeit game consoles and even a car :) Yes it was "possible" to collect coupons to get a car :)

This "Laptop" does not has backlight screen; it comes with a power adapter, user's manual, a mouse and (of course) the computers it self. You could get this computer by exchange of the coupons on the newspapers. Example: If you collect 100 coupons, then you go to the newspaper's headquarter and give these coupons to newspaper's headquarter to get the computer (It means you should buy 100 newspapers to get a computer). Also, computer is based on DOS; it gots printer port, mouse port, and Internet port(that's right). I can send the pictures of the user's manual in 1 or 4 weeks (of course if you want), also I can answer your questions in 1 or 4 weeks too...

The Tetris game is actually a pretty faithful recreation of the GameBoy version, to an extent. it even has the same patterns for the different block shapes. B Type is also from the GameBoy version. It allows you to select a High level, where it will put random blocks in the play area up to the row corresponding with the High level. The objective of B type is to make as many multi-line clearouts before you run out of lines remaining. After you run out of lines remaining, the game tallies up your score, with Doubles, Triples and Tetris's netting you more and more points, respectively.

This actually looks like something a parent to give to their kid. It sort of mimics a real machine without actually giving the kid an expensive laptop. Would be neat to see some of that extra software because this is actually rather impressive for something so simple!

A friend of my father has given me this in 2007, or course just as a toy, and I was OBSESSED with this thing. My dad had a high end Dell at that time, but this thing was much more interesting for a six year old boy. I found every combination after which the virus sign comes up (I don't know its meaning, but I know that I loved it) and played with it for years. I still remember the first level of Soukoban and how I felt very intelligent when I started to solve the puzzles in different levels (I think I was stuck in one of them). I played "Alley Way" possible for more than 100 hours :) I was 5 or 6 when it was given to me and my mother gave it to someone without asking me when I was 13 or something. I was looking for the name of this device, and found it on Teknoseyir, a great Turkish tech site. I will purchase it as soon as possible :) I tried to find it but couldn't even understand what its operating system was, I thought maybe it was some early version of windows, but what I remembered wasn't even similar to Windows 1 or 3.1, but now, finally, I am finally relieved.

So much fun looking back at machines like this. I personally think the device is neat!

Good lord! The way the resistors and capacitors and the like are arranged makes it look more like a hobby project than a manufactured product.

Well down video!

Its an existential rhetorical question

The text on the schedule screen says "my father's birthday". Comet was given as a promotion by a newspaper back in the mid to late 90s in exchange for coupons that were issued every day (I believe it was either 30 or 90 coupons). The keyboard is that way due to Turkish characters. I still do have mine somewhere and yes, the original mouse works with the other port. This was an amazing stroll on memory lane. Thanks for the great content as well as your good wishes for 23rd of April!

Hmm...a "How to use DOS" guide, a faux version of DOS, and a Typing Trainer? I'm thinking this is some kind of learning computer for students. Fascinating.

The manufacturer seems to be a Hong Kong company called Comet Electronics, here's an old archived copy of their website: web.archive.org/web/19991109110434/www.cometelectronics.com.hk:80/ by 2001 (the earliest product listing I can find that worked) they didn't have anything like this notebook listed, but their main product line seemed to be electronic translators/organisers, which I guess were likely based on similar technology to this thing. (in fact Comet brand translators still seem to be on the market in some places, their latest one being basically an Android tablet with translation software installed, but I can't find a working website for them anymore)

10:15 Your pronunciation was on spot. Good job👍

its funny that you brought up chips challenge, i love that game so much and i still play it to this day. i was under the impression no one remembers it

This kinda reminds me of those Alphasmart classroom computers, where they were basically just word processors with extra goodies. My old elementary school had entire classroom sets of em

I used one of those. I think some of them even ran Palm OS.

I have two of them (because I thought the first one was broken before I realised the problem was just a dead internal battery). Still use the repaired one heavily. I'm not sure what the OS was, would have to dig up the manual and see what I can find. I do have photos of the innards that I took while replacing the battery, though.

This really reminds me of some of those "Toy Laptops" from companies like VTech or the ComQuest Plus back in the day; some of the more advanced versions of those came with various ports and accessories like mice or little printers, and they had a lot of personal organizer-type functionality too. This is super-interesting stuff! I love it when you find proper fascinating Oddware to show off - "Well Down", LGR! :)

Love this channel. Im fully convinced Clint and I would be best friends based on how much we nerd out on stuff.

Teknoseyir'den gelenler:)

At 5:10 those were dates, it said “My mother’s birthday” And “My father’s Birthday”

Well, Clint. If you type "Comet Notebook Turkey" into a search engine this video is the first result. Already. It's the only result, in fact. So, you've made internet history. Sort of. And that chip is a Samsung 512K 8bit flash memory. It's still in use and available. Here's the data sheet if anyone wants to peek. datasheet.datasheetarchive.com/originals/distributors/Datasheets-110/DSAP003344.pdf

Can't helped but bawwwww at the Learning tag review, what a wholesome machine it is the Comet Notebook.

"What is files?"

I own an atari portfolio which I absolutely love, its a little like this strange device but..actually good. I hope you would do a video on the portfolio some day.

That keyboard looks a lot like the lovely keyboard from my ZX Spectrum +2.

Something about this reminds me of those odd keyboard Famiclones. Some of the carts for them also had a fake DOS prompt. Speaking of Nintendo, interesting how they called the Arkanoid clone "Alleyway," since that's also the name of a clone on the Gameboy...
