The original MSRP at announcement was WAY too high, and priced it out of
the market, but the actual/street price wasn't bad.
Larger keyboard that the HP (which was otherwise a better deal for the
price)
AA batteries with long life.
two PCMCIA slots (before PCMCIA was officially named and standardized)
Bus connector, with a few unobtanium accessories, such as 3.5" drive.
Had LOTUS available as a ROM card!
MS-DOS 5.00 - I learned how to write TSRs on one.
