Digibarn Systems:
IBM PC Convertible

Thanks very much Les Robbins for this lovely donation of an IBM PC Convertible circa 1986. From Wikipedia's entry on the PC Convertible:

The IBM PC Convertible, released April 3, 1986, was IBM's first laptop computer and was also the first IBM computer to utilize the now-standard 3.5" floppy disk. Like modern laptops, it featured power management and the ability to run from batteries. It was the follow-up to the IBM Portable and was model number 5140.
