It is a lot more powerful than that. If one line of text is not enough, connect it to a monitor using an HPIL->Video interface. And if you want to control your laboratory equipment with it, plug in an HPIL->HPIB interface. And it has a proper typewriter keyboard made from "original HP" wonderkeys. Lots of, at least three times as many as a prime. The only thing it can't do is graphics.
