snip.

The laptop is called a GeoBook.   Check out the Brother Web site.

Brother also sells a GEOS desktop computer called the "Personal Publisher".
  I has a built-in color ink-jet printer, and it can have a modem added.  
I comes with an application suite (I don't know if it's GEOS Works).  It
was about $700 when I saw it in 1996.   

GEOS ran on quite a few computers, and it runs on Intel chips.    Put it on
a 286 or a 386 and you'll have useful computer instead of the doorstop it
would be with Windows.
