I just acquired two "new" laptops.
In one corner, we have a TI Travelmate 4000E WinSX/25
In the other corner, we have a AMREL SLT486DLB 486DX2/66
And for comparison because this is the Thinkpad Forums, we have a 755C 486/75
Round 1: Ports
TIE! They all have the same ports.
Round 2: Keyboards
Winner: AMREL (755 is real winner)
Round 3: LCD
Winner: AMREL (755 is real winner)
Round 4: Pointing Device
Winner: AMREL with it's cute trackball (wins over 755, I love trackballs)
Round 5: Hinges
No pictures here but the order of stiffness is:
Least --> TI --> 755C --> AMREL --> Greatest
Round 6: Battery Mod Factor
The TP batteries are notoriously hard to open.
The AMREL uses a wierd shape but 12V
The TI uses a battery made of 4D cells and the battery still holds a decent charge!
Winner: TI
Round 7: HDD accessibility
The AMREL uses screws and the Thinkpad uses the bulletproof safe I mean plastic caddy
TI has it really inside the laptop.
Winner: I don't know I really like them all and they are good in their own ways.

1994 Laptop Showdown!
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Thank you for posting such nice hardware. Are those ISA slots in the back?!!
