The PS/2 Model P70 386 is a luggable PS/2 with a 386 processor, a bright orange gas plasma display and the Micro Channel bus, in a case where the keyboard folds over the screen and the whole unit stands upright on the desk. It was aimed at professionals who needed the full power of a desktop 386 on the road and had no battery, as it was meant for mains use.
