The VTech Laser 50: a portable computer with built-in BASIC

The Laser 50 from VTech is a portable computer from 1984 (some sites specify 1985) which functions primarily as either a computer or calculator and despite its somewhat awkward keyboard and limited integrated display is quite fun to use.

In this video I show an unboxing of my own Laser 50 that I recently bought and then show off its calculator and computer modes. Please let me know if you've had any interaction with a Laser 50 or similar computer, and whether you'd like me to do a follow up video showing the Laser 50 in more detail.

Please see my site for more information about the Laser 50:
