Trivia[edit | edit source]
A fictional counterpart to this machine, called IBN 5100 with a slightly altered appearance featured prominently in the video game and anime Steins;Gate. IBM did sponsor a video short with the anime characters in which a IBM 5100 was shown instead, but it was seen only for a few frames.
