4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful MS-DOS based handheld computer,
This review is from: Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PC (Office Product)
I used the HP 200LX when I was going thru grad school. The 200LX was of great use to me in doing all of the various computational assignments and testing that was required. The device out of the box is setup to run HP palmtop OS which makes us of the under lying MS-DOS. However I found the device to be more useful / powerful by using it's built it MS-DOS 5.0 directly.
As a student I used the device primarily as a calculator and a text viewer and editor. It will run most any program that runs on an 8088 desktop computer running MS-Dos 5.0. Also "some" software that requires a 286 based machine will run on the device. I have used the following programs on it: * Derive 4.11 * Matlab 3.5 * MathCad 2.5 * Lotus-123 ver 2.4 * XtreeGold * Turbo C * MS Fortran * Wordperfect * MS Word I bought mine from Thaddeus Computing, they have refurbished and enhanced 200LX units for sale. They can be reached at the following website, [...] I bought one that has been speeded up by them and is referred to as a DoubleSpeed enhancement. I have had my 200LX for about 11 years now and it still works just fine and it is still my calculator of choice. So if you are looking for a powerful calculator like device the HP 200LX is still a good choice. It is too bad HP stopped making the 200LX. Keyboard handheld devices (running desktop software) are currently not being made and that is a sad thing.

This review is from: Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PC (Office Product)
I purchased this palm calc to speak to HVAC equipment, (Siemens software)still runs on DAS. Unfortunately the display screen only worked for 1 day of use, which is unfortunate enough, At which point I contacted the seller for return , which was granted, I lost about 21 hours of man time due to this which ads up to approximately 2600 dollars, And the seller now is trying to deny me my refund of the item After I sent it back! I dont think I will ever except another contract were Iam responsible for communications to do my job since most HVAC software is out dated and old electronics are unreliable the seller of this product is a con artist selling broken crap online than making false claims I hope Amazon sticks by there Gaurantee!

Useless, even when it was first released.,

This review is from: Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PC (Office Product)
I bought this thing when it was first released in 1999. Even for the time, the technology was substandard and the operating system was primitive. It's pretty much a useless gadget that doesn't even look cool by today's standards. Honestly, my first generation Palm Pilot was more useful than this thing.
