I agree on that basis.
However as the bast CP/M machine I'd say the AmproLB+ as the scsi interface
made it easiest to add a big hard disk[45mb fujitsu 3.5"]. All others
require GIDE
or an expensive controller and MFM or RLL disk.
A close second was the Micromint SB180 with the SCSI board. Smaller,
lower power,
and 256K banked ram using 64180 [z180] cpu.

I think Kaypros are among the best CP/M
machines ever built. Compact (for the day), reliable, quick, very nice overall. I sold
and serviced them for a few years, and I happily collect and enjoy them now.

Indeed. Compared to other CP/M portables (like the Osborne), the Kaypros were very well
made and easy to work on. No crappy plastic parts. My favourite CP/M machine, well that
I own anyway..
