I was thinking more of the battery in the original Mac
Portable (which I
know is not what you're referring to). The portable weighed 16lbs, due in
no small part to the lead-acid battery it used. I guess it's technically
not a laptop, but it was definitely not in the same class as, say, the
Compaq portable. :)
Yes, that was my guess, too. Only laptop-/style/ portable I ever even
heard of with a lead-acid battery. *Gorgeous* monochrome active-matrix
LCD, too. Stunning for its time, still good today.
Tandy FD1100FD. Green LCD (CGA), lead acid battery
