The PC-98LT is a model released as part of the PC-9800 series. It's the first laptop made by NEC.

Hardware

The PC-98LT was NEC's answer to Toshiba's laptops, which finally started processing Japanese characters by then. The PC-98LT, like many other releases that drop the "x1" from their naming convention, is incompatible with previous PC-9800 series software. Only the later PC-9801LS would eventually be compatible.

The PC-98LT's most unique hardware specifications were its independentally developped processor: The V50, also known as the µPD70216, which clocked at 8MHz, and also its liquid crystal display. the PC-98LT had many versions which can be divided into 2 groups: the PC-98LT x2, which can connect to the PC-98LT's printer, and the PC-98LT x1, which can't.
