In September 1995, Compaq introduced the LTE 5000, a high-performance family of Pentium
processor-based notebook PCs featuring an innovative modular design that allowed for break-
throughs in flexibility not only in the notebook by itself, but flexibility that extends to the desktop
with the industry’s first modular expansion base, true 64-bit architecture, and PCI Local Bus
graphics as well as providing an extensive combination of multimedia features.

In April 1996, Compaq added two new models to the LTE 5000 family, the LTE 5300 and the
LTE 5280 both to establish new performance capabilities in the high end of the LTE 5000 family.
The list of new performance features include the 133-MHz Intel Pentium processor, two new
displays with 11.3-inch and 12.1-inch CTFT panels, and an increase in base memory of 16 MB
that makes RAM expandable to 80 MB on these new models.

In June, Compaq is broadening the capabilities of the high-performance Compaq LTE 5000
flagship notebook computer family with three new models at both ends of the spectrum, including
the new power-packed LTE 5380 and two entry-level models, the LTE 5250 and LTE 5150, as
well as new options.

The new premier model of the Compaq portable family, the LTE 5380, leads the pack with a 133-
MHz Pentium microprocessor, 1024 x 768 resolution on a 12.1-inch color TFT panel, an
impressive 2.16 GB hard drive, and 16 MB of base RAM standard.

Refreshing the entry-level end of the LTE 5000 line, are two new models—the LTE 5250 and
LTE 5150—offering higher Pentium processing power than previous models.

•

The Compaq LTE 5250 offers a 120-MHz Pentium processor, 16 MB of RAM, 10.4-inch
color TFT SVGA panel with 800 x 600 resolution, and an 810-MB hard drive.

•

The LTE 5150 is equipped with a 100-MHz Pentium processor, 8 MB of RAM, 11.3-inch
color STN SVGA panel, and an 810-MB hard drive. An additional 8 MB of memory (for a
total of 16 MB) has been installed in the option slot of the LTE 5150 as an added bonus

On North American models only (U.S. and Canada).
