Welcome to the AST Laptop Homepage on MacDat!

AST Research/AST Computer was a computer hardware company that existed from 1980 through to the end of the 1990s when they went out of business. If you'd like to know more about the company, check out the video that The 8 Bit Guy did on his time working there from a few years back. If you'd like to know about their laptop computers, you're in the right place!
