I have a 144k version. It's built like a truck. I haven't played around too
much with it yet, just verified it was working.

I had one for a few years. Primarily used it as a portable terminal. The
charging circuit failed in it disastrously though absolutely destroying
most of it while it charged on the bench one night. I have not spent the
time to fix it. My TRS-80 is 30 years old now though and working just fine.

I saw this on a recent episode of The 8Bit guy: 
https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=285=1 

I had never heard of these, its predecessor is from 1981 and these have pretty 
similar specs as the M100/T102 in addition to being near indestructable. Has 
anybody here every had one (or still)?
It clearly loses from the M100/T102 on the keyboard front though...
