Micro Express introduces the first notebook PC to use the new AM386DXL,
25-MHz low-power microprocessor. This processor allows 25-MHz 386DX
performance, and includes an internal 128K RAM cache, for
high-performance. With a raft of power-saving features, such as fully
adjustable sleep modes, the NB2500 has an average battery life in excess
of three hours.

With 4-MB of RAM, an 80-MB fast hard disk drive, a 1.44-MB 3-1/2" floppy
disk drive and a built-in send/receive FAX/modem that meets CCITT Group 3
standards, this 7-pound notebook PC sells for only $2695.

The nine-inch black-on-white CCFT Supertwist backlit LCD screen offers 64
levels of gray scale with 640 x 480 pixel VGA performance. Brightness and
contrast are individually adjustable. System RAM can be increased from 4
to 8 MB with the addition of a 4-MB SIMM memory upgrade module ($240).

A full-size 83-key keyboard is included, with full cursor control. There is
also a port for plugging in an external keyboard, if desired. Additional
ports include: one serial port; one parallel port; an external monitor
port; a scanner port; and an expansion chassis port. The available
expansion chassis ($499) includes two full 16-bit slots plus an additional
power supply.

The scanner port supports a Marstek hand-held scanner. Two versions of the
scanner are available. The first is a 400-dpi model ($149). Second is an
800-dpi model ($399) that comes with Windows-based OCR software and with
Image-In image-editing and scanner-control software.

notebook PC measures 11.6''[W x 8.7"[D] x 2.3"[H]. The NB2500 is FCC Class
