I can not see the picture but could it be an alphabook? Forgive me if this sounds like a joke,, but there a very short lived hardware called an Alphabook. Ran very hot, to hot for a laptop and weighed 14 pounds. If you have one I would hold onto it, People have mistakeny thought it was laptop (same dimensions). A friend picked on up for $25 because the person thought t was a broken laptop. This is a real Alpha. > On Aug 29, 2015, at 12:29 PM, Jules Richardson <jules.richardso...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > Anyone know anything about this system?
