It's the great great great great great great great great great grandfather of Samsung's Windows 10 tablets.
my grandma did inventory for kroger when i was little and i remember her carrying this around with her to count things. she also let me paint on it :-)
Use the paint app or paint it with pigments.

Was it advanced as all hell for 1992? Yes. Quite.

It was dead cute..

Don’t think Apple wasn’t expensive back then, the 25th anniversary Mac cost $25,000 and would be delivered in a limo, and a guy in a suit would set it up for you.
I was 19 in 92, but I don’t remember ever seeing this. I got on the internet for the first time in August 94. Even then I didn’t know this existed. I do remember seeing some type of shit like this being used in a hospital or something though. But I never thought anything of it.
Apple’s Newton MessagePad introduced in 1993 was apparently widely used in hospitals. The at first derided handwriting recognition was improved until it was considered superior to other systems introduced years later. Staff or even patients could enter data including symptoms onto it. I owned one it was a neat gadget but for me it didn’t add to my productivity over just using my PowerBook Duo.
Accepting external storage? So... it’s better than iPad Pro.
Exactly
So is a turd. More practical too
I mean at least its EXPANDABLE
@ICT 30-100x times faster? Can you please stop pulling numbers out your arse :)
Exactlyyyyyy
I wonder how people from 1992 would react to new tablets.
Edit: Duh... they are still alive.
I wonder how people from 2052 react to today's tablets
@@seasonraii8135 Or to very similar cellphone design...
Sepheryn you know what... good point! I didn’t even think of that. 😂😂
Why yes I am
The Wolf, We may be alive but I know what you mean ahahhha. You mean if someone sent today's tablet back in time to 1992, how would we react. We've had too much time to adapt with every new set of technology that asking us now would be useless, you'd have to ask us in 1992. We'd be blown away by the look of it, the speed, the quality, but at the same time we would ease into it and adapt rather quickly, compared to someone from the 60s or 1800s using it! xD Our toys were rather advanced in the 90s, so I think the reaction would be the same as when the iPod came to be. No one was surprised but everyone had to have it, everyone thought it was so cool.
7:13 That made me laugh more than it should...I can just imagine an old HDD with glasses and a cane yelling at SSDs to get off its lawn.....
And in no time it'll be the SSD yelling at a NVME to get off It's lawn
@@JohnSmith-xq1pz yep
It translates “Oh Well” to “WTC 2”. Chillingly prophetic. Way ahead of its time.

Seeing the Samsung tablets next to each other gave me a strange sense of joy.

Going from a real PC that you can use to run real desktop applications or even install your own OS... to a bloated mess of a UI on top of closed proprietary software running on hardware specifically designed to be almost impossible to repair... Seems like we're going backwards, not forward.
That classic Samsung logo.
Also when can we pre-order your upcoming romance novel?
_32 Shades of Grey_
It's a tragic tale of a torturous relationship between a struggling girl graduated from Art college, an old VVacom tablet and one expensive Abode Picturebench software suite.

@@Vladimir_Kv this is so accurate hahaha
I expected his romance novel to be called 32 shades of wood grain, so i am somewhat dissapointed.
Actually it's not "32 shades o Greyy"
It's supposed to be "Black, white and the 30 shades of Grey, unless you start rotating it in which case there are infinite shades of different colors"
Been a subscriber for so long. Every video i see from this guy. Makes me feel home again. Thx man for all these wonderfull years of entertainment.
Oh man I remember seeing this thing in PC mag back in 1992. I was 10 then. I wanted one SOOO bad. I was obsessed with LCD screens and wanted a Palm sized pc like the LG phenome or the Fujitsu Stylistics. Im glad that you mentioned GRID! I have owned a few of them over the years. They were THE manufacturer of RUGGEIZED tablets all through the late 90's to the mid 00's. I also own a SUPER RARE Ricoh talet PC with a pentium 90, Dual Scan COLOR touch screen with a CD ROM from 1995 ... My father and I would go out on sunday almost every weekend and go to CompUSA, Computer CITY and Circuit City to geek out over the new computer stuff. He was a DOS guy and taught me EVERYTHING i know about early computers. We hosted a BBS dial up at our house in the late 80's early 90 (before the internet was a thing) which I thought was the coolest thing ever.
iPhone X: $1000
Galaxy Fold: $1800 S10: $900

Costs 10x more when compared to now due to inflation.
@@RonZhang the coat has been adjusted for inflation
Yeah. It would be nice to compare it to a similarly priced tablet today lol
@@Michael-Archonaeus I would guess oled display, two snapdragon 855s or A12x. A whole terabyte or more of storage 5g.
Nope, still not enough to justify *that* price.
Galaxy fold is garbage
That’s extremely impressive for ‘92
very well put together video... i remember working at radio shack in the mid/late 90's we were in training for cell phones and i asked a question about caller ID on cell, the sales rep scoffed and said that would never be a possibility.... 2 decades later.... always fun to watch your videos!
I love your videos! So glad I found your channel. Have a good day, dude!
Thank you, and you too!
"...make sure it's charged up or plugged in so you can get it turned on." - LGR, 32 Shades of Grey, pg 971.
There are so many sentences in this video that would sound dirty out of context.
I really love the ambitious page count of this post. There's no way anyone can get that story told in less than 1,000 pages
I doubt that thing could hold a charge in this day and age.
I think the floppy drive was making the "I need a new drive belt" sound.
I agree. Let me guess the type of floppy drive: Citizen W1D
That's the kind I've got in my 486 Dell laptop. Yup, bad belt.
Floppy drives, like old cars. They make noise when their broken and some weirdo who lives in his shop is willing to repair it for a price.
Good times, man

The marginal increase in technology is slowly shrinking and shrinking.
It's the original Galaxy Note! Amazing to see a Samsung Wacom device from the early 90's and then see them revisit the concept with a phone in 2012. I love my Note 8 (had the original Note and Note 3 as well).
@Genes He never said that he had one.
Oh, I found that one apple cultist!
@Genes note 7 was a pretty good phone that actually only very few of which had any problems. Out of the 3 - 4 million of them that were sold, 35 had the battery issue
@Genes btw when apple had similar issues with their phones exploding and catching fire, instead of responding, apologising and recalling their product they just denied that it was their fault, in classic apple style.
Samsung revisited the pen tablet concept too! Alot of their relatively newer upper-mid to high end tablets host the same wacom-based technology their pen phones have. While watching this on my galaxy tab which came with an s-pen and has the technology I have noticed some elements of the pen master seem to have carried into Samsung current day offerings too, particularly the pen, which the larger spen which comes with their tablets seem to take inspiration from having a similar yet more rounded(?) form factor and keeping the button on the top. It is super intresting to think about the fact that this mightve been a precursor to the tablet im currently using rn
The handwriting recognition is actually really impressive
For the quality of videos and effort you put into them, you deserve way more subscribers! Please keep going!
This is the Samsung Note -1

I have a Samsung Tab S. This really puts my tablet into perspective. Love that Samsung has been in this space for so long. They are legit.
This one also explodes.

Thank you so much for the great video 😃
This channel always makes me wonder if people will be doing lazy gear review type videos on the latest tech of 2019/2020 in 40 to 60 years from now lol
Probably not, todays hardware, especially phones and tablets, is cheap garbage that get destroyed very easily.
I hope so gotta keep the awesome tech of yesteryear on display
Neglecting to include a 3.5mm headphone jack on a high-end mobile computing device in 1992 took a lot of courage on Samsung's part. Take note Apple.
It doesn't even have a sound card :P
LGR even more courageous.
@@LGR Haha! All the more courageous.

Using a Note 9.. aint it the same?
No! The note 9 is WAY worse.
Note 9 and Tab S6 here... and I don't get why Samsung is the only company that has devices with a pen. Well, you can buy that as an extra for iPads and Surfaces at least, but no other Android device available if you want to have a pen. Such a great thing to have... :)

Makes me feel happy to be alive in this day of age (though I was alive in 1992 as well, lol).
I'm watching that on my Note9🤗
Now nearly 30 years later, I'm watching this on my tablet PC.
Brilliant vid as always, loved the sneeky look inside! 😊
To be fair, a Wacom replacement pen these days still costs about 80$
Yup. I bought the Wacom touch and broke my pen when it had rolled onto the carpet without me realising and I rolled my chair wheel over it (d'oh)
I couldn't justify shelling out the $60 bucks or whatever they were asking for a replacement pen when the device+pen only cost me like 90 bucks in the first place...
First rule of DrawPads: Do NOT buy Wacom
@@DumbArse Strongly disagree. Don't buy a cheap Wacom but most definitely buy a Wacom. Nothing else has the same quality or compatibility. In terms of tablets, you get what you pay for.
@@hellishinc No such thing as "cheap wacom" they overprice everything just because they were for the longest time the only company on the market but nowadays there are very good alternatives for half the price like Huion
The surface pen is pretty expensive too. It's around 75 brand new.
I love LGR's vids, they are so relaxing is almost comfort food. Not to mention as someone into computers I actually learn things about them.
Wow this channel is so amazing
It's neat seeing how the different tablet versions of Windows changed through the years, or more specifically, what didn't change. I use an HP Compaq tc4400 tablet running Windows 7, and some of the UI elements it uses in the handwriting recognition tool are noticeably present as far back as Windows for Pen Computing.
I literally said to myself earlier today, "It would be cool to watch people do reviews on older electronics" but I was thinking along the lines of watching someone review a 2000's laptop in their time period...so just sitting back and laughing basically while they oogle at the really neat cell phone lol....but then, and without any effort on my part, this video shows up in my recommended...and I kid you not, I didn't even look up "old reviews" or anything. I think TH-cam just hacked my brain. Creeeepy.
Karla Barber you are cute as fuck
Google activates your phones mic to ease drop on you to recommend videos to you.

The slightly later version was much more popular, this is the 14.0 version, but you really need the 15.0 to fully "grasp" the experience (PEN15 MASTER).
I'll show myself out.
Nice to see Samsung having had a relationship with Wacom for almost 30 years. It looks like a PDA actually. I remember using my aunt’s PDA and thinking it was soo cool.
I love stuff like this. All this forgotten hardware that was so interesting and powerful for it's time. It's great to see how it all works and while its a shame you couldn't get any games on it, I would love to eventually see them running on other similar devices when you inevitably cover them. Great job LGR!
I can remember seeing tablet similar to it when i was a kid. Tablets came a long way.
It’s indeed beautiful to watch. And it’s a beautiful machine inside too
Merci pour cette vidéo, j'adore. Vive le retrocomputing, this tablet pc is so great !! Hello from Toulouse, in France.

Ask me! My father bought his first PC in the early 1980s for about $ 5,000. I was permitted to use it, too. For word processing, I used SPF/PC. That was a mainframe text editor that is still around. Just no-one else uses it any more for anything other than mainframe programming.
whyjordie this tablet is older than me I’m 19 LoL

I initially started watching this video on my PC, but then found it necessary to watch it on my Samsung Tab S7+ instead. Kinda cool seeing this old school tablet on a modern one.
3:58 I never thought I’d love hearing an old piece of technology boot up
4 MBs of RAM? Man....

*"It Definitely Can Run Crysis"*
@Fuck You Did You Try it on yours?
But it can run doom
Wrong, *It can't run Minecraft with Raytracing*
Kind of reminds me of the CHS-2 Handheld Terminal Unit, a ruggedized tablet for military use. They were manufactured about the same time as this but had a blisteringly fast 50 MHz 486 SX CPU and 32 (count em' 32) whole megabytes of RAM. They could be programmed to do a number of different things depending on what PCMCIA hard drive was installed in it. The one I was issued only ran one program, but it was a pretty cool program. It was kind of like a real world version of Missile Command.
I made my first computer in around 1995 from used parts for less than 100 bucks , well I was in high school
I'm constantly amazed at all of the things Samsung has done over the years.
Hi, sir. Can you try in someway to emulate ICQ 98 or 99 in a PC? Emulate some conversation to remember the sounds and interface? It's some kind rare in the internet this kind of footage.
Why was everything in the 90s bulky and gray
Not true, late 90s boasted a lot of ~transparent~ devices.
This was the past’s future I guess (I’m not even a teen yet). Grey and boring designs.
Because they focused on making things useful, not nice, nowadays they can create those things very easily and with little efforce and they are focusing on the estethic of the device
