The guy in the next office from me ordered one today. Vendor Under-Ware Electronics in Wichita (800-442-1408) SAYS it's a Samsung, and Samsung rated extremely well in a recent major magazine review. In brief, it's like a Compaq notebook with double the grayscale value, plus a short-card slot, at 1/3 Compaq's list price. Highlights: 30-day, no-questions-asked refund 6.6 lbs. with battery (longest-lasting battery reviewed) one 8-bit standard card slot VGA b&w lcd with 32 grayscale, not 16 $1,999 with 1 MB ram 5 MB ram max, $80/MB 386sx, 16 MHz, Award BIOS Ext. keyboard and VGA (color) monitor ports 8.5" x 11" (AC adapter is external) 20 MB, 27 ms, IDE drive - the 20MB drive is perhaps the weakest feature, which can be fixed via the extra slot, or upgrading from 20 MB when better 2" drives exist. !mit-eddie!frog!barr
