I was curious as to the original specs (because computer tech so quickly is outdated)
From the friends wiki:
Chandler's laptop is a Compaq Contura 4/25cx during "The One With The List". It was the top model of the Contura lineup of that time (1994). The base model had:
Processor: 486SL running at 25MHz (slowed down version of the 486)
Display: VGA color (active matrix)
RAM: 4MB (expandable to 20Mb)
Hard disk: 120MB or 200MB
In 1994 the base model costed $3,848 which, adjusted for inflation, is $6,756.82 in 2020.
Chandler's version had "12 megabytes of RAM, 500 MB hard drive, built-in spreadsheet capabilities (they all had that) and a modem that transmits at over 28,000 bps." so would have costed a lot more.
But what did he say he was gonna use it for?
Games and stuff
