[comp.sys.laptops] Texas Instruments TI LT286 Model 12

I saw this machine in a lap-top store and was very impressed.  As the name
implies, it's a 286 (12MHz) with a 20MB disk, weighing in at about 7 lbs.
It's small, but has an odd form factor: less deep but fatter than most
lap-tops.  The keyboard is full sized and a little "clackly."  The only
disappointment was the screen, which, while quite clear, was a very
obvious CGA.  Another odd feature: the diskette drive is a removable option
that fastens on to the side of the unit, though with LapLink and DOS in ROM
I'm not sure why I'd need it.

Does anyone have any experience with this machine?  While I don't remember
the price, I remember comparing it to the other prices in the store and being
favorably impressed.
