The Pedion was a subnotebook computer developed by Mitsubishi Electric with Hewlett-Packard in 1998.[1][2] Hewlett-Packard marketed a rebadged version of the Pedion under their OmniBook brand of notebooks and subnotebooks, called the OmniBook Sojourn, in the same year.[3][4][5] Mitsubishi's subnotebook is named after the Greek word pedion (πεδίον), meaning "plain", "flat", "field".

At Script error: No such module "convert". thick, the Pedion was the thinnest notebook computer in the world, even thinner than 2008's MacBook Air Script error: No such module "convert".; the MacBook Air was 4 mm at its thinnest point, however. 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.[7][8] This style of keyboard technology would not proliferate on laptop keyboards until nearly a decade later.[9]

Mitsubishi ceased production and withdrew the notebook from the market due to "mechanical problems".[1]
