I actually had a great experience with their 386/25Mhz machine from Costco back in the early 90s. It came with a 386DX/33Mhz chip instead of the 25 Mhz indicated on the box and the manual. It was huge, in a full size all metal desktop case. It was a solid performer with no hardware conflicts. It was unlike all the newer PB models that followed, which got smaller, sported more plastic, and came with "integrated" proprietary hardware that made upgrading and troubleshooting close to impossible.
