Arima AN586/GN586

The Arima AN586 and GN586 are Pentium-based generic/ODM laptops that were released in 1996. They both share the same design and seemingly nearly identical specifications - they both released around the same time. I don't know the exact differences currently.

Common Faults & Maintenance

This laptop suffers from brittle plastic, which causes cracks to form near the display hinges. Reinforcement with JB Weld or another epoxy will be required to keep one intact.
