"Synline" branded early laptop, probably circa 1988-1989 - it has the following specs:

10Mhz NEC V20 CPU
640kb RAM
CGA Monochrome LCD screen with DB9 connector to connect an external monitor
3.5" FDD
20Mb Western Digital Hard Drive (XTA interface)
AZERTY layout mechanical keyboard - also has a DIN-5 connector for an external keyboard

It powers on and boots from the hard drive, however it sometimes needs several attempts as the hard drive is finicky. This is not a reliable series of hard drive and it's actually a miracle that it still works - this machine comes from a haul of seven identical computers I got years ago and it's the only one that still has a functional hard drive.

The drive has been formatted and only has a bare MS-DOS 6.22 install. I haven't done further testing.
It's possible to replace the HDD with a CF card and an XT-IDE interface - I have done this mod on an identical machine.

The computer is clean and comes from a non-smoking home.

It is however very heavy (7.5kgs) so the shipping costs are expensive. This is why I've decided to price it with shipping included to EU countries.

Price is 120 euros including shipping. Payment by paypal FF preferred. Will ship to EU countries only.
