| Notes | The Panasonic Sr. Partner was an early IBM PC clone and one of the first out of Japan. It was a fairly standard luggable design with the exception of having a built-in printer. |

The Panasonic Sr. Partner was a "luggable" machine like the Compaq Portable. Like the Compaq it was also an early IBM PC clone. Unlike the Compaq it had a built-in thermal printer.
The system closed up into a nice, carry-on suitcase sized enclosure.
The system in my collection is working with a few software errors that need to be worked out.
