See the 22 January issue of PC Week, page 17-22, for a comparative review of
386SX battery powered laptops.  The Dell came in second, ahead of the Zenith
Supersport SX, but behind the Toshiba T3100SX.  Its price is roughly the same
as the Toshiba (considering you never buy Tosh at list), has an 8-bit half
card ISA slot, but is a little light on battery life (1.5 hrs).  Sounds like
a very good effort for their first laptop, and will undoubtedly get less
scowls than a Toshiba if you tote it into a Defense contrator's shop to work.
BTW, I have no connection with any of the above vendors or PC Week.
