Does anyone know anything about the Amstrad laptops? In particular I
am interested in the ALT-286 and the ALT-386SX. They both have nice
features, according to the advertising (VGA LCD, 1.44M FDD, 1M RAM,
16 bit 1/2 length slot, 2hr battery, 16MHz, & 20/40M HDD, ...).
The disadvantages are the weight 7kg (~15.4lbs) and it only has MS-DOS
3.3, and not in ROM. And these things are cheap compared to Compaq,
Toshiba, and Sharp. What are people's comments on these things?
Could someone make a comment quickly? I would like to make a purchase
within a month.
Au revoir,
