$1,795 Luggable PC from 1985: Sharp PC-7000

LGR 14 min Published Jan 2023

About this video

Sharp's PC-7000, a lunchbox-style MS-DOS portable from 1985, is cleaned up, tested and then put to use by LGR.

Good to know: Mains voltage inside the power supply, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging.

Why watch it

In the maker's words it is a proper MS-DOS computer that did well for Sharp through the late 80s, though not the fastest or most capable luggable of its day.
