I actually owned this very computer when I was a kid, it was my first IBM-compatible PC, and the first PC clone ever with a built-in CD-ROM drive.

It was very cool for the time, it came with a collection of CDs, including one with about 100 games of varying quality that kept me busy for endless hours.

The drawback was that they drew sales with the CD-ROM and skimped on the processor. It only had an 8088 running at 4.77 mhz (though it had a TURBO BOOST button you could push that would supposedly somehow get it up to 10 mhz). So while I had the cool CD-ROM, my buddy’s PS/2 was a heckova a lot faster with his 286 board :(

That TURBO BOOST must have made a real difference!
