Compaq LTE - Later Models

Later Models

The success of the original LTE series led Compaq to apply the designation to later models. Subsequent Compaq LTE computers had a pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard, however the LTE 386 and LTE Elite 486 models had a trackball mounted to the right of the LCD screen, and were able to hook up to a docking station to act as a regular desktop computer. Later models are able to remove the floppy drive to add an internal CD-ROM drive, which was an expensive upgrade option for the late LTE series.The last LTE laptops were the 5000 series ending with the 5400, which had a 150 MHz Pentium processor and was quite capable of running Windows 98SE. It also allowed for swappable Floppy Drive/CD-ROM Drive. As of April, 2009, some of these late 5000 series laptops are still being used, as the device is very reliable and easily upgradable.
