Arima PN486

Arima PN486

The Arima PN486 is a 486-based generic/ODM laptop that was released around July 1993. This laptop uses desktop 486 processors. The PN486 model number is based off of the FCC ID of this laptop (ID4PN486), but one source claims Arima referred to it as the NotePro.

A revision of this laptop called the PN486C exists. It released around November 1993, and I'm not sure what was different about it. Arima would later release an updated version of this laptop called the PN486E that supported an internal sound card. Later still, they made a Pentium version of this machine (the PN586C).
