In turn this was a near clone of the 1988 Cambridge Computer (Clive Sinclair) Z88: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Z88 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Z88
An ultraportable word-processor, much like the AlphaSmart. The hassle in copying documents across from the NC100 (via a shonky RS232-to-AppleTalk cable) is what killed it for me. But a lovely piece of kit nonetheless.
Today, for a portable, affordable writing machine, I use an HP 11in Chromebook running GalliumOS and FocusWriter - as light as a MacBook but costs just £200.
