The 5MX launched in 1999 at £480. I bought a medium-spec Dell Inspiron in the same year for around £800 if I remember correctly.

Prices in the US were similar.

I remember the Psion series 5mx price was about half the cost of a laptop. The sales clerk in the electronics store tried to convince me to buy a Palm device instead, but I had seen a Psion series 5mx while in Europe and knew what I wanted.
