Retro-style laptop with 8088 CPU and 640KB RAM now available for $200.
The "Book 8088" laptop, available on AliExpress, combines modern components with an Intel 8088 processor and 640KB of memory to recreate the experience of using an original IBM PC from 1981. The laptop features a 640x200 16-color LCD screen and built-in interfaces that allow USB accessories and CompactFlash cards to interface with the ancient components. The slow speed and low memory limit make it best suited to MS-DOS, with its text-based interface and general lack of multitasking support. The laptop is made by Hong Kong-based manufacturer Xinrui Technology and is sold out in most versions.
