[comp.sys.ibm.pc] laptop recommendations?

border@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (02/20/90)

A friend without access to this newsgroup is considering the purchase of a 
PC compatable laptop.  Requirements are:
  1) Moderate Speed (16 mHz)
  2) Hard Disk (20 Meg)
  3) Light weight
  4) Cheap
  5) 640K
He is looking for something in the $1500 range but accepts that what he
needs may cost more.  This computer must be able to share data with 
various older PC's and so a 5 1/4" drive would be a valuable feature.

If anyone out there has any particualarly good (or bad) experiences to 
relate- or any recommendations they would be most appreciated. 
(please email to: rborder@ncsa.uiuc.edu)

If I get sufficient responses I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance...
