I believe this is a Chinese version of the Kyotronic 85 (TRS80 Model 100)

This although baring the famous name, I’m unsure of its originality. (Or officality, it may be a Chinese clone with the same name.) why I’m suspicious of it is its back says translated “Beijing Computer Company” and that is not the original production place of the Japanese Kyotronic 85.

The CEC series and PZ series were early home computers that were locally produced in China. Most of these machines were BASIC machines and competed with Laser 310s (more high quality Hong Kong made machines) and other imported Japanese and American machines that were rarer.

SDHS (山东高速) special made HP computer with custom boot screen!

This is a very nice piece of Chinese computer history. It is a wiped SDHS laptop that was in circulation in that company. These are almost impossible to find inside of China let alone outside.
