I had a Digital HiNote Ultra II that I bought new just coming out of high school back in '96.
If I recall correctly, it had a Pentium 100MHz CPU.  I think I had it up to 32MB of RAM,
don't recall the hard drive, but it had a funky wedge-shaped detatchable 3.5" floppy drive
that went underneath it.  Cool system; I remember running some version of Linux on it
after I got tired of Windows 95.  With the floppy detatched, it was very thin.

I remember going for it over some Toshiba (I think) because it had a better screen,
despite the slightly slower processor (the other was 133MHz).
