Recently got this from my workplace for $5. As we were liquidating our inventory of various props, including several vintage laptops (they all went to happy new homes thankfully instead of being recycled), I noticed this one sported a Magitronic logo (mainly the reason why I got it as i have a Focus FK-2001 keyboard with the Magitronic logo on it).
After a bit of effort, and using a trusty ASUS power adapter I had laying around, it came to life, and it has seen better days. Sports a 133MHz Pentium, 256k external cache, 8MB of memory, and a 2GB Toshiba HDD. The floppy drive has issues (won't read any floppies and will just error even though the indicator light shows it tries to read the disks), and the optical drive is stuck. Runs Windows 95 and probably manufactured by Compal. It has a generic model number of 600. Battery is a Duracell DR36 and still holds about 15 minutes of a charge.last
For sound, it has an OPTi 930 with a Roland MPU-401 compatible chipset (it also has its own FM syntesizer for midi). Native resolution on the LCD is 800 x 600.
