In September 1995, Compaq introduced the LTE 5000, a high-performance family of Pentium
. .
processor-based notebook PCs featuring an innovative modular design that allowed for break-
. .
. .
throughs in flexibility not only in the notebook by itself, but flexibility that extends to the desktop
. .
with the industry's first modular expansion base, true 64-bit architecture, and PCI Local Bus
. .
. .
graphics as well as providing an extensive combination of multimedia features.
. .
. .
In April 1996, Compaq added two new models to the LTE 5000 family, the LTE 5300 and the
. .
. . LTE 5280 both to establish new performance capabilities in the high end of the LTE 5000 family.
. .
The list of new performance features include the 133-MHz Intel Pentium processor, two new
. .
. . displays with 11.3-inch and 12.1-inch CTFT panels, and an increase in base memory of 16 MB
. .
that makes RAM expandable to 80 MB on these new models.
