I am looking for a laptop or notebook computer with a display that goes
beyond VGA. The application I am planning for the machine will require a
resolution of at least 800*600 pixels, better would be 1024*768 or similar.
Monochrome with 1 bit per pixel is okay, but I would also be interested in
a grayscale version.

Every kind of display is okay (LCD, gas plasma or whatever else), it does
not necessarily have to run from a battery and it does not have to be
extraordinarily lightweight. Everything below 10 kilogramms is fine.

The other equipment that I am envisioning is a harddisk (between 40 and 100
Megabytes), a floppy, a 386SX or 386 CPU and between 4 and 8 Megabytes of
memory.

I already know about the Toshiba SPARC laptop and the Sony NEWS laptop which
have resolutions around 1100*900 pixels, but they are far too expensive and
have many features that I do not need. Additionally, they are heavier than
what I would like.

If anybody knows of such a machine, I would appreciate any information about
it. Thanks!
