This poor broken mess of an 80s laptop has been rebuilt and it's better than ever! The rare Chaplet Halikan LA-30A is an interesting machine on its own, but this one's story of breaking into a thousand pieces and being restored by the talented PolyMatt takes it to another level. His video went into the rebuild process, but this one dives into using the PC itself, its odd quirks, the company behind it, and its small but fascinating place in computer history.
