Portables also make good collectibles because they tend
to have the best
technology of their time, are integrated, and don't take a lot of space!
And as the 10-year mark gets further into the dregs of pc-sameness,
portables still offer a wealth of individuality.
Some more recent portables of note:
Atari Portfolio (1989)
Fujistu Poquet (1989)
Gateway Handbook (?)
Dauphin DTR1
Various GRiD's and GRiDPads
NCR Pen computers
Dolch Lunchboxes
Various ruggedized laptops
etc.
