I think are laptop is pretty good, (Maybe I'm just prejudiced).   I
saw a demo of the 316LT next to an NEC and a Compaq, and the
Dell display is much nicer, it uses the same Supertwist LCD panel
as the Compaq, so the display was just as nice as the Compaq, generally,
but we have a few enhancements, one of them is a utility that
enhances the shading, so the grey scales are much more distinct,
and the other is the capability to reverse the shades.  Reversing
the shades, makes graphics turn out in non-negative format,
so the pictures look more realistic.

Also, we now support Dell Unix on the 316LT.  It runs real well, even
X-windows...
