The 130 was the first Newton with a backlighted display.

It has the best case of all newtons. No sticky skin, just tought plastic.

This makes it my favourite machine for carrying around.

Because the advanced handwriting recognition of Newton OS 2.0, it is finally the first correct working Newton.

Sadly the CPU is just a bit slow and I dislike the telescope stylus.
