used as a portable display when working on mainframes and networks it's why it has all the ports so it could connect to different systems I/O ports easier. It would also be used to diagnose/repair HP lab equipment on site and upload new software. I do not recall seeing this model in use. But when I was an analytic chemist, servicemen constantly were having to connect to one machine or another. I think they just recycled the case and design. It would make sense to make a 'portable' business computer with most of the same parts and widen/increase sales to lower production expense on system lines they already had. Hewlett-Packered, Hyundai, Hitachi, and other makers for laboratory instruments, terminals, printers or Industrial Computer Controlled Equipment It was far easier to bring techs to the systems then try to transport to a service center.

LGR: I understand that a whim from time to time we can all and must give ourselves, but just for having a PC 486 DX4 100 MHZ, I do not justify it. Here, in Argentina, there are already few 486 left and more the DX4. They were the typical PCs that resulted from upgrading the processor from a 486 DX2 66 Mhz to DX4 100. Overdrive they were called. And they were cheaper than buying a Pentium 90, 100 or 120 MHZ PC in order to enjoy the -new- Windows 95.

wow! that unit actually is used back in the days to configure and setups servers and control systems of cellular networks, i been working with some installation company and they were using it in order to run and supervise telecom networks, actually what does makes it expensive the fact that the telecommunication industry recommended such products with their systems such as Nokia, Ericsson, NEC and Alcatel-Lucent

Back in the day my dad started out working for Hewlett Packard and then later agilent technologies he was a specialist for a machine called a 3DX and then later the 5dx something to do with circuit production he got to fly all over the world to different companies that bought these machines from Hewlett-Packard and agilent

Not related to the video, but does anyone know what the big woodgrain box on the right at 2: 38 is? It-s fascinated me every time I-ve seen it in an LGR video and it would be great to find out what it is. I can tell it-s probably a tape deck, but does anyone know the model?

Any recommendations for a sound card to put in this thing? I'm thinking of buying one of these off Ebay (seriously, freaking insanely good prices on these things, but I'm not sure what my upgrade options are, and I can't deal with just the PC Speaker.

WOW. That is the most laughably impractical -laptop- ever even at the time (at least to use as a regular computer. I guess for what it was for it would have made sense to use. But that is one bigazz whopper. -

The RS232 dip switches is plug in manual lines of parallel ports for the analyser to test them, you could even test home made com port breadboard circuits with it too as it supplies a voltage to test chips

Adjusted for inflation; $20, 000 in 1998 would be $31, 600 nowadays (2020. $30k for a laptop? (Sorry; I should say lap-crusher, 9kg is a lot. I use a 4kg laptop as my daily driver (It's from 2009)
