    I had one of these! (Probably still do, somewhere.) Got it when they were on clearance.

    It was kind of a glimpse of the future in some ways. A small, light, fanless machine with a usable keyboard. And it ran for so many hours that you didn't have to think about batteries, you just used it. We're (largely) used to that today, but that's not what laptops were like back then. For doing simple tasks (writing a journal in Pocket Word, etc), it blew away my big ThinkPad.
