3 THE PORTABLE ADVANTAGE Give yourself all the speed and effici~ncy of professional computing power. - whenever and wherever you need it. The KAYPRO 4 is a full, integrated computer system in a single compact package (easily portable at just 26 pounds) in a rugged low-profile carrying case. Everything you need, ready when you are. Other computer manufacturers consider necessary components like monitors, disk drives, and functional software as optional extras. Extras for which you'll have to pay extra. But at KAYPRO, we believe that once you pay for a computer, you shouldn't have to pay more to get to use it. So we've included all these so-called options as standard features with the KAYPRO 4. It's all here, even the software. DESIGNED FOR FULL-TIME OFFICE WORK Sit down for a work session at the KAYPRO 4. The 91/ screen (measured diagonally) is the largest available on any portable computer, and its crisp, clear 80-column by 24-line green phosphor display is designed for comfortable viewing - 8 hours plus per day. Our impressive keyboard is the same as the keyboard found on stand-alone word processors costing thousands of dollars more. Sculptured keytops and fast, snappy response make typing a breeze. We've even included a 14-key calculator-style numeric keypad for easy entry of statistical data. And the keyboard is completely detachable - position it wherever you want it for maximum comfort. TRUE FLEXffiILITY Every KAYPRO 4 is equipped with the versatile CP 1M 2.2 operating system - which allows you to use literally thousands of commercially available software packages. And our massive disk storage of 400 kilobytes per drive - (providing the equivalent of roughly 250 typewritten pages) - enables you to run the most powerful software with ease. Word processing, accounting, inventory, information management, analysis - your data processing tasks will cease to be a drag on your work flow.

5 A WORD ABOUT KAYPRO Kaypro Corporation's evolution began under the name Non-Linear Systems, Inc., organized in The company developed the first digital voltmeter and quickly established itself as a leader in the field of electronic test equipment. NLS has been a major supplier of digital voltmeters and ratiometers to large corporations in the aerospace industry.

They set up a worldwide network of distributors to provide portable multimeters, oscilloscopes, counters, frequency meters, temperature meters, and digital panel meters. Now - NLS has used that 30 years of experience to enter the world of computers. The prime thought has been to provide the small business and the family with the best value in a microcomputer.
