The goal was to compete with Apple II's and IBM PC's in small businesses as they started getting equipped with computer systems.
This standard CP/M based system featured a 12'' screen housing a single motherboard, without extension capabilities (no S-100 bus), a keyboard and floppy drive.
The CDOS operating system (a CP/M variant) came with several business software tools (spreadsheet, word processor, BASIC language).
