Apple has apparently sold Drexel University 3000 MacIntosh machines,
1650 of which will be sold to students next winter for about $1000 each.
Apple acknowledges the agreement with Drexel but will only say that it
concerns "an unannounced product".  First hand experiences related by
a Drexel vice president suggest the following (using his words):

  mouse
  video screen, disk drive, keyboard in one unit
  23-24 lbs, can be transported in a soft case
  16-bit microprocessor with 64K min memory
  (they call it the Apple DU--for Drexel University)
  they picked it because it was "easy to use"
