Welcome to the Hitachi Homepage on MacDat!

Hitachi is a Japanese electronics manufacturer. They sold many laptops throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and into the 2000s. I don't think they still sell laptops today in any market. Hitachi mainly marketed their laptops in Japan, but they had a go at selling in the US during the latter half of the 1990s through their subsidiary Hitachi PC Corporation. These laptops are currently all that is documented on this section, although I will expand it to include their Japanese market laptops in the future.

As far as I'm aware, every laptop sold in the US by Hitachi except for the C Series was a rebadged model from one of the ODM manufacturers.
