The late 80's saw several small computers -- the Minisport, the NEC
Ultralite, and the even smaller Poqet PC and Atari Portfolio.
Not sure who made the first one with color display. The net says it was
the Compaq LTE-286.

about the size of one. I got 2 :)
Incidentally does anyone remember one of the first color
laptops/notebooks. It was a ~3" LCD in the middle of a much larger area! I
saw a picture of it in Computer Shopper around 1993/4 I guess. It was a
hoot!
