EBM PCX

EBM PCX is common portable system is housed in a lightweight impact-resistant plastic casing (available in several— colors) with a folding handle for easy transport, and the entire package measures 5.1 cm by 35.6cm by 51 cm and weighs one kilogram. It can run off house current or an internal 2-hour rechargeable battery.

The processing core of the PCX is a multitasking superchip (treat as a CPU with an INT of 2) driving a 25 Memory Unit storage bank. The superchip can run two programs at a time, but this unit cannot be used for netrunning. The unit's dual datachip ports can accept and play any kind of digital chip, allowing the PCX to double as an audio/video player.

The touch-sensitive keyboard and high-definition screen can be folded away for transport, or removed to be replaced with other peripherals. EBM also markets a factory-standard cybernetic-interface version of the PCX, available for an increase in price (Cyber-PCX is 1200eb and adds +1 to any INT or TECH skill rolls that can be computer-assisted). Arguably the most popular laptop model computer in the 21st century, EBM's PCX series still has some competition from similar products marketed by Microtech, ARC, Mitsubishi and others.
