[comp.sys.laptops] Dell's notebooks.

chem63@menudo.uh.edu (Bernard H. Chang) (04/18/91)

I was just reading the brochures Dell Computer Corporation sent me.
They are now offering two notebook size machines. One is a 286
and the other is a 386SX machine. Do people have any experience
and or comments on these machines? I am including some specs.
in the brochures below.

Thanks for helping out.
