This 6.5-pound (2.95 kg) notebook features a 33-MHz 486SL microprocessor from Intel with integrated 8-Kbyte cache and an integrated coprocessor. The COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/33C Personal Computer features an 8.4-inch (21.3 cm) diagonal active-matrix color VGA display using thin-film transistor (TFT) technology with extremely high contrast and fast screen response time. In addition, this display supports Extended text, which allows users to increase readability in text mode by defining the viewable area of the display. With an optional external monitor, the system also has simultaneous display capability.

The COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/33C supports all the options and security features (except DriveLock) of the COMPAQ LTE Lite Family of Personal Computers.

The COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/33C provides support for two serial devices and the integrated EasyPoint trackball simultaneously. For this support to remain in the product as shipped, the mouse driver must remain in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/33C Personal Computer comes standard with factory-installed Microsoft MS-DOS Version 6.0, Microsoft Windows Version 3.1, and EZ Help Online Library.

The machine can be expanded to 20MB of RAM with a proprietary upgrade card.

I have one of these and the battery died and it wouldn't do anything when i turned it on. taking the battery out seems to work. (Regular battery, not bios)

I have one of these that I still like to use for word processing. But now when I turn the power on, nothing happens at all. Does it need a new bios battery? Is that easy to change?

May 1993 I think is closer to the introduction date of this model.
