[comp.sys.laptops] Zenith TurboSPORT 386?

Hi: Recently I read an ad in BYTE (June p.343) about a final
    clearance sell on Zenith TurboSPORT 386 for $2,795.
The system includes:
	80386 32-bit CPU with 12/6 MHz
	2MB RAM (0-wait state)
	640x400 Backlit LCD Display
	3.5" 1.44 Floppy
	40MB 28ms Hard Disk
	2400 Baud Modem
	Battery & Adapter/Charger
	MS-DOS 3.3
	Speed-Land Mark Test- 16.9 MHz
	1 yr Full Warranty from Zenith

Is it a good deal? Is Craftsman Electronic, Inc. a reputable
mail order firm? Why a machine retailed for $8,499, now sell
for less than 30% of its worth? Are there some flaws in the machine?

Would someone who either has experience with the machine or the
mail order company please give me some advices. Thank you in advance.
