OQO is the manufacturer of a subnotebook computer named the ultra Personal Computer (uPC). Their systems possess the functionality of a low-end tablet PC in a form-factor slightly larger than a PDA. OQO claims the product is the smallest full-powered full-featured personal computer. The company's first version is called the OQO model 01.

The OQO model 01 was announced several years before prototypes were even seen, leading many people to call it vaporware until it was finally released in the fall of 2004. The computer shipped with Windows XP installed (Home Edition or Professional) and featured a 1 GHz Transmeta processor, 20 GB hard drive, and 256 MB of RAM. It included USB 1.1, FireWire 400, a headphone port, and a built-in microphone. It also included integrated 802.11b, as well as Bluetooth. It included a pressure-sensitive stylus for use with a graphics tablet built into its 800x480 transflective screen. It began to ship on October 14, 2004.

The OQO model 01+ was announced and released on September 27, 2005. Representing an incremental update to the model 01, the OQO model 01+ features a 30 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM, USB 2.0, and an internal speaker. It also adds support for portrait display mode (480x800) and has a redesigned screen bezel intended to improve the accuracy of its tablet.

The OQO model 01+ running on Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 was introduced on January 4, 2006, taking advantage of handwriting recognition and navigation.
