I remember a laptop in the early 1990's that had Microsoft Office in ROM to load faster. I can't find a reference to it right now.


HP Omnibook 300? https://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=123

`Omnibook300Intro-5091-6270-6pages-May93.pdf` https://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?hwdoc=123 sez:

> Built-in ROM applications don't use up disk space

- Microsoft Windows

- Microsoft Word for Windows

- Microsoft Excel

- Appointment Book

- Phone Book

- HP Calculator

- Microsoft File Manager

- LapLink Remote Access™


That looks like it. I didn't have one but I remember the magazine ads for it.
