- extra batteries.
-
- The processor is the " PC in a chip". It's an 8088 with all supporting chips
- inclusive. The whole PC is on the chip except I/O and ram. Because of
-
- the compactness of the chip the computer has 286 performance and a low power
- usage. The battery life is longer than most portables, due to this fact.
- Most of the power consumption will come from the backlit LDC screen and
- the hard drive.
-
- So for all those wanting this info., enjoy.
