 General Information
The IBM PC Convertible - the poorest selling portable computer at
the time!
Notes:
Why did the machine
sell so poorly? Because IBM was not paying attention to the
marketplace. At the time, companies like Compaq were developing and
releasing 286 portables - with optional hard disks.
This machine,
however, was not impossible to upgrade. You "snap-on"
upgrades to the rear of the machine. Have
a look at the Rear View and notice the add-on serial port.
Still, due to its
poor sales, this machine has become notorious and is therefore
collectible.
