 I am thinking of buying a 286 laptop computer with reasonable
graphics capability. I have a few ideas about what I want and what I
need but I still hesitate between a couple of systems. The TOP-3 of my
list are:
		- NEC Prospeed 286 
		- Mitsubishi mp286l
		- Altima 286

 The NEC seems to be the best one (I'd love to have its VGA display) but
the price is also the highest. The Mitsubishi has a very attractive
price but all the review I read weren't too good (display, keyboard,
SLOw harddrive). The Altima has very nice features (except display
only available in CGA) with the best price I found in the category,
BUT who knows  this manufacturer?? (I've never seen anything with that label).

 I would appreciate any information about the above systems (and others...).
Any experience about Altima's would most welcome.

 Besides, there are a lot of brands spoutering everywhere that I don't
know or that make systems for which I couldn't find any review
(Chicony, Chaplet, Gateway, etc...). So if I've missed the best buy
please let me know!!!
Thanks
