The stupidest thing about that 8088 laptop? It has a "Windows" key on the keyboard!! How dumb can the manufacturer be to include that? Of course, it is just a cheap "modern" keyboard, but I digress. To bring back the "genuine" MS-DOS experience, it has to have a mechanical 83-key keyboard with tactile feedback, not a modern $10 crappy laptop keyboard.

And, the screen is way, way too small, with far too large a bezel (looks like 30-40% of the possible screen size is lost to ridiculous speakers on the sides of the screen. Epic fail. And that hacked BIOS, awful.
