Kawai ES100 specs
Kawai's entry portable of the early 2010s, dated by Kawai's own documentation to 2013: an 88-key ES-series slab with the Harmonic Imaging engine, 192-note polyphony, 19 sounds and a 15 kg body. Kawai's 10 January 2017 news positioned the ES110 as the 'successor to the best-selling ES100', which fixed its exit year. With no Bluetooth and no USB audio it dated quickly, but it stays in demand second-hand.

192 notes was generous for 2013, but 14 W of amplification and the AHA IV-F action date it.
