Description
This ain't just any old beige 486 computer, this has an active matrix monochrome screen! One of only a handful of laptops that ever had such a thing, which is great since these mono LCDs were normally a blurry mess of sadness. Unfortunately it's not without its issues and it still needs some attention, but it's something I've wanted to discuss on LGR and what better time than now while it still works?
