As its name suggests, the Laser 128 had 128 KB of RAM . Like the Apple IIc, it was a one-piece semi-portable design with a carrying handle and a single built-in 5¼-inch Floppy Disk drive. Unlike the Apple IIc, it had a numeric keypad and a single Apple IIe-compatible expansion slot, which gave it better expansion capabilities than a IIc. It retailed for about $700, which was substantially less than the price of an Apple IIc. Apple countered the Laser 128 with its upgraded Apple IIc Plus . VTech responded with the Laser 128EX and the EX2. The Laser 128 was aggressively marketed, both by mail order firms and also in retail and catalog stores such as Sears . Even though its ROM was not derived from Apple's ROM, the Laser 128 series had a high degree of compatibility with its competition from Apple. EXTERNAL LINK |
