- Just to tell you I bought the Impulse portable PC.
-
- It is a rebranded version of the Twinhead PC (one of 3 Best Buy in
- PC World of sept. 92). The good point: the street price of the
- Twinhead is US$2674, the price of the Impulse is CAN$1599.
- I presume the price is for a limited time.
-
- If you compare the US <-> CAN exchange rate price (about 20%),
- the prices are CAN$ 3200 -> 1600 in 3 monthes.
-
- They have the same chips (BTW, what is the difference between
- a 386 SLX/25 and a 386 SXL/25 ? ). The only difference I see
- is that the Twinhead seems to have an internal modem which is
- a supplement (CAN$ 129) with Impulse. Both have a 60 MB HD.
-
- A question: what price can I ask now for my previous 3-year portable?
- a Toshiba T1000 with a few keys not working, 8088/4.77 MHz and
- one 720k drive...
