Zenith ZF-171 (Circa 1983)

The Z-171 portable personal computer is a lightweight, briefcase-sized computer than can take care of any number of personal or business computing needs. It is a portable system with all of the features of a full-sized system, and it can run virtually all software from IBM's vast library.

Due to its early design, possibly as far back as 1983, the Z-171 is one of the few battery-powered computers which utilize one or two large 5-1/4 inch floppy drives, instead of the more recent 3-1/2 inch floppy drives. This made it much more compatible with desktop systems, as at the time, mostly used 5-1/4 inch floppy drives.
