I don't think I was being silly. The HP-150 with the _BUILT_IN_

its keyboard as the terminal operations were built in. I seem to
recall a padded bag designed just for that purpose. The 150 with
no drives (not required for terminal operations) was a little bit
smaller than the original Mac. I seem to recall it as a nice
terminal... it had a pleasant font with bright, bold, underline
and maybe italic, smooth scrolling and a point addressable graphics
mode (I once wrote a program to display fractals on it).

Depending on your definition of
"portable"... an HP-150 with
the built in printer could do lower case (I'm pretty sure).
An HP71B + Datacomms ROM + 2225B Thinkjet printer + either an HP82164
RS232 interface or HP82168 modem is portable. It can certainly do
lower case.
Although personally, I'd rather carry a VT220....
Other 'sillies' would be just about any laptop computer + a portable
printer.
