Well, it's certainly not an LTE. Those are laptops.

What your friend has is a "luggable" - a "sewing machine" type.

Basically, it's a doorstop. If any ISA slots are free, you could try and
look for an ISA memory expansion card - Intel AboveBoard, AST RamPage,
etc. secondhand, but if it's working, I'd just be grateful and use it
as-is.

It'll probably run DOS apps quite happily - look for WordPerfect 5.1 for
DOS, or LocoScript, or WordStar 6.0, etc. but don't expect to do
anything sensible with Windoze.
