The Bondwell-2 represents one of the pioneering laptop personal computer models launched by Bondwell in 1985, operating on the CP/M platform. It was equipped with a Zilog Z80 processor running at 4 MHz, accompanied by 64 kB of RAM and a 3.5" floppy disk drive—an unusual feature given the waning popularity of CP/M during that period.
Offered at an affordable price of 995 USD, the Bondwell-2 included MicroPro's comprehensive CP/M software package, featuring WordStar. Its flip-up LCD display supported bitmapped graphics with a resolution of 640x200 pixels (equivalent to 80x25 characters), which was rare among CP/M devices. Users could also opt for a 300 baud modem to expand communication capabilities.
