Hey! I found this old laptop for $500. Do you think I should buy it? Can I run Linux? Arch obviously.

If it’s like the older vtech educational toys it uses some z80 processor, so you won’t be able to run Linux but you can a few different hobbyist microcomputer operating systems like zeal8bit and fuzix.
Man, I had a vtech “computer” as a kid in the later 90’s. I don’t remember what happened to it or what it was even actually good for.
Pretty sure this is what I had.
...that's the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys...
