Keep your eyes peeled for the Toshiba 1000SE (that's 1000*SE* not
the 1000).

It's smaller and (slightly) lighter than the 1000, has CGA and ATT
graphics (ATT graphics are 640x400 - better than Hercules - MS Windows
looks very nice), has a normal proportion screen, backlit LCD, removable
battery, takes up to 3Mb ram, has a 10MHz 80C86 (2.5 times faster than 
the original IBM PC/AT!)

It's not due to be released in the US before February sometime (perhaps
even in late January). I purchased mine in Finland for the equivalent
price of $1600.00, but I suspect that the US street price will be
around $1200-$1400.

This is definitely THE portable to get if -and ONLY if- you can live
without a hard disk. The 1000SE has only a 1.44Mb floppy drive.
