Zetatech "E-Book" Microcomp
As important as a wallet, as common as a wristwatch, Zetatech's E-Book series (and hundreds of other models from a host of competitors) can be found almost everywhere in 2020. The E-Book is a 15.4cm by 7.6cm by 1.3cm pocket computer with a keypad and one chipslot, housed in a hardened ceramic housing (designer colors are available). Able to function for 5 hours before its batteries need to be replaced, this entirely portable system uses a liquid crystal processor (a CPU with an effective INT of 1 ) boasting 12MU of programmable memory. The liquid crystal CPU can run one program at a time, but netrunning is impossible with an E-Book. The chipslot can accept digital audio chips as well as standard datachips, and it can even process video (although the screen is a bit small for this.) A cybernetic version is available for a 40% increase in price (140eb), and adds +2 to any INT/ TECH skill roll. Capable of accepting a multitude of attachments, many custom versions can be found on the street, functioning as bug detectors, encryption units, biomonitors and codebreakers. Perfect for the edgerunner on the go![1]
