Remember When a 29-pound Portable Computer was Light?

(electronic music)

[Announcer] Retrograde.

This office bag doesn't contain file folders,

newspapers, and a lunchbox.

It holds the Portable Trans PC LCD286,

a fully functional portable computer,

weighing in at only 29 pounds.

Unfold it, plug it in, and go to work at the office,

at home, or in the field.

Your office is where you want it to be.

With a built in 5-1/4 inch disk drive

that can hold 1,700 typed pages,

it's like carrying your file cabinet with you.

Outstanding graphics on the state-of-the-art LCD screen

can be adjusted for any lighting situation.

Powered by the latest 286 chip and the power of 64 kilobytes

of RAM, this is one hell of a productivity machine.

Who needs to spend more on a brand-name Compaq?

The portable Trans comes loaded with popular third-party

application softwares, like Word Processor and Calculator.

In a slate gray finish, it looks sleek and modern.

Your office, in a bag.
