- I read about this new release in the Latest PC Magazine (Aug, 1992)
- and based on the performance specs, I have put this notebook in
- my #1 slot for affordable notebooks. I have found that the
- processor speed is very good for a 386/25 system and the memory speed
- is good as well. The disk access speed is up there with the
- Gateway and Compudyne 386's and it stood out from many of the
- other notebooks in graphics speed at, I believe, 1.78 Megapixels
- per second. That makes this book a viable contender. I read that
- the battery life is good and that the notebook is built well.
- I think that this notebook is a great deal and you have made a
- smart choice that I would consider taking if I were in the buying
- market at present.
-
- It will be nice to hear comments of experiences with this notebook
- in the future.
