The PC-9801 LX is a model in the PC-9800 series. It is the first laptop with a multi-color display.

Hardware

The PC-9801 LX is a laptop with functionally the same technical specifications as a PC-9801 EX, with the only two differences being its screen and its expansion bus specifications: the screen is an LCD instead of a CRT, with the display of the PC-9801LX 5C being the first multicolor one. The laptop itself doesn't have any expansion slots, the expansion bus adapter that comes with the laptop is compatible with PC-9800 series expansion boards.
