I remember getting a press briefing on the Handbook before its release.
Gateway did not manufacture the unit. I think it was made under contract in
Taiwan. It was an interesting system that was not on the market for long.
I'd grab one if the opportunity presented itself.

Subject: Another odd-ball/almost classic computer...8 yr old...
Just found this in a box... Has anyone here ever heard
of a Gateway
2000 Handbook computer? It's like a palmtop/laptop computer,
10"x6"x1.5"...
using a Chips & Tech. 8680 "PC on a
chip". It has the 2MB RAM upgrade, to
bring it to a whopping 3MB!
And would you look at that, 40MB HDD... With the null modem cable,
it would make a great ultra-portable terminal...
