Greetings, all! Got a straightforward LGR retrospective on a classic machine right here. Nothing too wild or mind-blowing, just a neat old machine receiving some overdue cleaning and appreciation. A comfy place for me indeed.

I found this one pretty refreshing to put together in its simplicity, so I hope that y'all enjoy to a similar degree. It was also really darned relieving to get through an entire week of filming something from 38 years ago and NOT have it break in half a dozen ways, haha.

I'll be back next week with a video that I've been working on alongside this one, another classic-style LGR thing I chose mainly since I was in the mood for some late 90s fun. Hint: "out of bounds invisible cannon." Till then, have yourself a good one!

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

Cleaning up, testing out, and enjoying the Sharp PC-7000 lunchbox-style portable PC! A proper MS-DOS computer that proved quite successful for Sharp throughout the second half of the 80s. It may not be the fastest, most capable luggable of its day, but dang if it doesn't look spiffy. ● LGR links: https://patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Music licensed from Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 The Sharp PC-7000 from 1985 02:57 Cleaning up the computer 04:19 A little history, a lot of tech specs 10:11 Opening the case to see inside 10:52 Using the PC, playing DOS games 13:04 Middle of the road but recommended! #LGR #Retro #Computer

What a beautiful technology brick this is! Most luggables are impressively ugly in my opinion but this one has a real sense of style and looks genuinely portable.

I'm surprised to see that it runs slower than an IBM PC when both are clocked at 4.77 MHz! There's only two other systems I'd seen like that until now, a stock IBM PCjr without memory expansions, and a clone whose name escapes me right now. This is especially surprising given that it's an 8086 CPU, not an 8088! If you still have it set up (I'll understand completely if it's back in storage) and add the Sharp 7000 to the topbench database, then email me the resulting DATABASE.INI, I can add it to the master database in the next release... and it would also shed light on why it was so slow.

Now that's a neat "little" thing.

The days when I wondered what use a PC would ever be lol

I absolutely think that this is a clever system, especially for the time. I think the modularity, docking to a thing, is much of the charm in brings too. It tells you that the manufacturer was interested in making more money off of you... for your convenience, of course. :)

That thing is just bloody beautiful! What a great piece to have in the LGR fleet!

Oral-B makes a fine computer scrubber. 😉 Thanks for showing off the keyboard switches (I was curious about that) and also trying out some King’s Quest!

Out of Bounds invisible cannon makes me think of one of the MX games on ps2 that would shoot you back into Bounds when you drove out of it
