Early DOS and Windows 3.1 era gaming, for titles released before 1995 or as office computer. Unfortunately, despite the somewhat adequate CPU speed, the video chipset is definitely too slow for anything beyond 320x200 resolution and even 640x480 resolution is quite taxing on Windows 3.1. DOS games support is quite good as the laptop offers also good SoundBlaster emulation. | Early DOS and Windows 3.1 era gaming, for titles released before 1995 or as office computer. Unfortunately, despite the somewhat adequate CPU speed, the video chipset is definitely too slow for anything beyond 320x200 resolution and even 640x480 resolution is quite taxing on Windows 3.1. DOS games support is quite good as the laptop offers also good SoundBlaster emulation. Definitively avoid, if possible, the colour monochrome passive LCDs as they have very poor contrast, and even more so in the case of monochrome screens as they are having even lower contrast than the colour ones. Unfortunately, there is no visible hint on the laptop chassis about the screen, except on the label placed on the laptop's underside. | ||
