Toshiba's Jimucon SJ-9500 combines a combination of retro hardware
Features include dot matrix printing, DVD drive, touch screen, SSD
Adaptable for industries, it offers wide connectivity and energy efficiency

Toshiba has released the Jimucon SJ-9500, a desktop computer that looks like it emerged from a retro futuristic design lab.

This all-in-one device, the successor to the SJ-9100, combines an eclectic mix of hardware: a dot matrix printer, a DVD drive, a touchscreen and two SSDs, all running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021.

Billed as a tool to boost business efficiency, it's a strange mix of old-fashioned and modern technology that looks like something straight out of the 80s with a 2024 twist.

A quirky addition to any workplace

It's probably no surprise that, according to PC clockToshiba has been manufacturing the “Jimucon” series since 1982.

This office workhorse incorporates a 24-pin dot matrix printer, allowing it to reproduce forms at a typical rate of 180 characters per second, with speeds up to 240 characters per second if you're in a hurry.

The printer can handle large paper (up to 304,8mm) and cope with multi-copy jobs, producing one original and up to seven carbon copies, all with a reliable impression of impressive printing that would make any old-school office proud.

The machine's 15-inch color touchscreen (1024x768 resolution) and stylus support offer a touch of modern convenience. The device is loaded with 8GB of memory and dual 240GB SSDs (one for active work and one for storage), and the design even has a slot to store the keyboard on the main unit to save space.

In terms of functionality, the SJ-9500 is designed with business continuity in mind. Toshiba has included a three-minute battery backup, so even if the power goes out, you can complete whatever task you're working on.

There's also a generation management feature that lets users trace data from a few days back, and an optional online backup service acts as a safety net for any critical data you want to keep.

The SJ-9500 can be customized to handle industry-specific tasks, making it adaptable for everything from industrial waste management to order processing. And thanks to its range of connectivity options – six USB ports, serial ports, DisplayPort and Gigabit Ethernet – this machine can connect to everything from barcode scanners to external displays, making it a versatile, if quirky, addition to any space work.

Measuring 538x658x418mm and weighing 23kg, the SJ-9500 isn't a sleek desktop, but Toshiba's Frankenstein creation manages to cram a full business setup into one unit and with 7% less power consumption compared to with previous models, it has been designed with energy efficiency in mind.

For businesses looking for something both functional and memorable, the Jimucon SJ-9500 is available for purchase across Japan now, although there's no word on pricing. Toshiba says it plans to sell 1.000 units a year.
