quite well made, and alluringly priced". The Model D received 4 out of 5 stars from InfoWorld in December 1985. The magazine praised the computer's value and ease of setup ("the whole operation takes less than 20 minutes, even if you know nothing about computers and take your time"), and reported that the Model D was even compatible with IBM diagnostic software, unlike the Compaq Portable and others. InfoWorld concluded "We recommend it highly, especially to the budget-conscious beginner". A positive October 1986 review in Popular Mechanics cited its low price and the quality of its keyboard. It received good reviews in other computer magazines and Consumer Reports magazine. References IBM PC compatibles
