The 2100 blew me away, when I first saw it in 1997. A friend of mine had one for work.

No device had this speed, the display and portability.

This machine started my collection a few years ago. Currently I am cleaning it and maybe it's getting a new display. Done!

The 2100 was the last of the Newtons, sadly until today nothing has reached the same quality.
