Believe it or not, the user manuals for the Grid hardly mention specs at all.
I just got in some spec sheets, so here are some more details.

Size: 2 * 11.5 * 15 (inches, HWD)
Weight: 10 lb
Keyboard: 57 keys, full travel, has ctrl and code keys
Screen: 320 * 240 (note only the top line models have 512 * 256)
Memory: 256k or 512k read-write depending on model. Some models also accept
        plug-in roms for o/s and programs.
Modem: those models which have modems have a 300/1200 modem with speaker for
       call progress.
Bubble: 384k of bubble memory on all models.
Serial: rs422 (used as rs232) up to 250kbps. The fast speeds are used in what
        is called a GridServer (networked!?)
Peripherals: connected via GPIB, various disks, printers and plotters supported.
Clock: lithium battery backed.

There is a battery pack available, the rated operation time is one hour, the
battery pack weighs more than the computer (12.9 lb)
