The Z-Noteflex family of modular notebook computers has a user-configurable architecture and upgrade flexibility, including a CPU that you can upgrade. Based on Intel's 3.3-V 486 SL-Enhanced processors, the system is available as a 33-MHz 486SX up through a 75-MHz DX4 and a 100-MHz DX4 when available. You can increase the 4 MB of 32-bit system memory to a maximum of 24 MB; the user-removable 2 1/2-inch hard drives have a VL-Bus interface and are available with 200- to 520-MB capacity. For longer traveling power, you can swap the front-mounted floppy drive for an optional second battery pack. The notebooks are priced from $2749 to $5999.
