[comp.sys.laptops] Windows on a 386SX

gardiner@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu (David Gardiner) (02/27/90)

I am considering purchasing a 386SX laptop, specifically the Dell
316LT (probably the 2MB/40MB version) and am wondering whether the
performance is good enough for the following (not necessarily all
on the same machine):

  1) Windows applications such as Word for Windows or Samna Ami
     Professional with good response time?

  2) Serious Windows software development?

  3) Serious Unix software development?

If the Dell is not powerful enough, are there any laptops that ARE
powerful enough?

Thanks.
