The HP 95LX is an MS-DOS 3.22 based Palmtop PC with a built-in Lotus
1-2-3 spreadsheet, as well as a file manager, a phone book, memo editor,
appointment book and a financial calculator (algebraic and RPN),
accessible using blue labelled buttons. It also has a built-in game
named TigerFox. It runs on two AA batteries that should normally last
about a month. Since it has a built-in spreadsheet program this machine
is in a way programmable as well.
The HP 95LX has 512 kB RAM. A single PCMCIA slot which can be used for extra storage. The second version on display is a French model with 1 MB of memory. The French version has a slightly different keyboard lay-out with extra characters. The HP 95LX has a RS232 port and infrared transmitter for communication. The latter can be used to wirelessly print to compatible HP printers. There’s a nice bit of information on the HP 95LX on HP’s official website (link validated 2024-01-13).
