The '''Poqet PC''' is a line of [[palmtop PC]]s introduced in 1989 by '''Poqet Computer Corporation'''. The eponymous first model was the first [[IBM PC compatible|IBM PC–compatible]] palmtop computer capable of running [[MS-DOS]] at [[Color Graphics Adapter|CGA]] resolutions. The Poqet PC is powered by two [[AA battery|AA batteries]]. Through the use of aggressive [[power management]], which includes [[HLT instruction|stopping]] the [[Central processing unit|CPU]] between keystrokes, the batteries are able to power the computer for anywhere between a couple of weeks and a couple of months, depending on usage. The computer also uses an "instant on" feature, such that after powering it down, it can be used again immediately without having to go through a full booting sequence. The Poqet PC is comparable to the [[HP 95LX]]/[[HP 100LX]]/[[HP 200LX]] and the [[Atari Portfolio]] handheld computers. The computer originally sold for US$2,000; it was discontinued after Fujitsu Ltd. bought Poqet Computer Corp.
