Brand: JVC

The JVC XL-V163 is a 16-inch laptop computer that was released by JVC (Japan Victor Company) in the early 1990s. It was part of JVC's AV Products business unit, which primarily focused on consumer electronics such as televisions, radios, and VCRs. The XL-V163 featured a 486SX processor, making it a mid-range laptop computer at the time. It had a 10 MHz clock speed, which allowed it to perform basic computer tasks such as word processing and spreadsheet programs. The computer also had 2 MB of RAM, a 240 MB hard drive, and a CD-ROM drive. The laptop's screen measured 16 inches diagonally and had a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The included keyboard was full-size and had a trackpoint pointing device instead of a traditional touchpad. This allowed users to navigate the computer by controlling the cursor with their finger instead of needing a mouse. The JVC XL-V163 was considered innovative for its time due to its use of a trackpoint and the inclusion of a CD-ROM drive. However, it was not a highly successful product in the market, as it competed with well-established laptop brands such as Toshiba and IBM. Today, the JVC XL-V163 is considered a collector's item due to its nostalgic value and sentimental connection to the early era of laptop computers.
