The Laser 50 was a small and cheap computer, nearly pocket sized. It was sold as an educational computer (it's written on it), and in France it was sold in a suitcase along with an introductory cartoon-book....
Please consider donating your old computer / videogame system to Old-Computers.com or one of our partners from anywhere in the world (Europe, America, Asia, etc.).
Could someone please send me a PDF of the Basic instruction Manual that came with the Laser 50? Just bought this computer used over e-bay, and I want to get into Basic programming, but I can''t find that booklet anywhere online.

I owned one when I was 6! This baby set me on the path of the programmer! Amazing!
