TRS80 Model 100

The TRS-80 Model 100! Released in 1983, this portable computer was a game-changer, weighing in at just over 3 pounds and running on 4x AA batteries or an external power source. With its 8x 40 LCD display and 24KB or 32KB of RAM, it might seem primitive by today’s standards, but back in the day, it was a seriously cool tool for on-the-go computing. You could write emails, crunch spreadsheets, and even Telnet into some BBS systems. What makes the Model 100 even more awesome is its keyboard – that classic clack is still music to the ears of many a retro tech enthusiast.
