Inside, the laptop is amazing - the whole structure is assembled on an aluminum chassis. Alas, time leaves its mark, and the plastic of the keyboard in places changed its color. For a while, a cheap Chinese noname was operated in its place - everything worked perfectly. This laptop has an original keyboard - it is removable, and with a full PS / 2 connector. 520Mb hard drive (the maximum that its BIOS sees).By rearranging the iron from two machines, one was assembled, but it was fully operational, only the battery was missing. Then in 2006, another SLT / 286 with a broken matrix was bought on a hammer. An 80 MB hard drive was found with difficulty, a 5 ”25 diskette was dug out (from which it was rewritten to a suitable 3” 5 configurator). Without a native PSU and battery, with a dead modem and hard drive and, as it seemed at that time, a dead BIOS (I learned about the fact that Kompak loved to use the Floppy Setup Diskette after a couple of months). This handsome man fell into my hands at the beginning of 2001, and fell into a dead state, with a dead hard drive and almost no read floppodov.

For the same ridiculous $ 599, a 2400 baud modem could be installed in the laptop, though without MNP.

However, this introduction, for fans of old iron, I offer this review of the laptop. You can talk about the quality of old technology for years. And besides, it often sounds like they used to do better, the sun was brighter and the grass was greener. Someone is simply obsessed with them, and holds entire museums of ancient technology. Surely many people have some favorite old things.
