I was curious as to the original specs (because computer tech so quickly is outdated)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.
