The GridPad 2050 was a later Grid product (1993) that ran an early version of Windows as a pen application.

The Gridpad in my collection is pretty much new in the box. The box itself is in excellent condition.

The contents of the box are neatly packed with everything where it was put in the factory.

Inside are the computer, battery, disks, a laptop case and some accessories including a spare stylus and the like.

A closer look at the accessories.

The machine did, of course, come with it's original manual.
Missing from the collection is an external drive or any other way of loading the machine with the software needed to run it.
