I used to program dungeon crawling games on this in BASIC. It was a decent machine, and I think the distorted screen gave it an unique quality. Also, it really was only as physically large as a 19" LCD monitor laid flat, about 2.5 inches tall. It was a bit heavy, though. It's a desktop replacement machine, really; much like any "laptop" today with a larger than 12" screen.
Ugh the Convertible... get a Toshiba T1100 Plus and you get 640k ram, not 512 like the IBM, a smaller package, a faster processor, and actual ports. :} IN YO FACE IBM

"why is your screen so stretched horizontally?"
I used 16:9 as opposed to 4:3
Essentially 720x480 as opposed to 640x480.
I did it to match the standard on TH-cam for an easier transcode.
Good catch.
I was the envy of everyone when I took one of these to college many, many years ago!
I'm still saving up for one
