Ohoh! Tandy flashback coming up...
Why is it that every five years someone comes up with this formfactor and
think they have discovered The Ultimate Answer To Portable Computing <TM>?
I even seem to remember a ZX Spectrum derivative aimed at the Buzy
Professional On The Move <TM>.
I think a student can get better value by buing a three year old laptop
with a couple of spare batteries. If space is at a premium, why not go for
one of the older Toshiba Librettos? They seem to go for comparable prices
on eBay.
