The Pedion was a subnotebook computer developed by Mitsubishi Electric with Hewlett-Packard in 1998.
[3][4][5] Mitsubishi's subnotebook is named after the Greek word pedion (πεδίον), meaning "plain", "flat", "field".
The Pedion included a Pentium MMX processor clocked at 233 MHz, 64 MB of RAM, and a 1 GB hard disk drive.
[6] The Pedion was the first laptop on the market to feature an island-style keyboard—a design for laptop keyboards in which they contain scissor-style switches with low travel and simplified flat keycaps separated from each other by a plastic bezel.
[9] Mitsubishi ceased production and withdrew the notebook from the market due to "mechanical problems".
