Tandy M100, M102, M200. Olivetti M10. And whatever the
Kyocera version
was called. (OK, they contain an 8085 CPU, which was originally an Intel
design, but I don't think that's the normal meaning of 'Wintel')
Don't forget the NEC 8201A and likemindeds :-)
And, of course, the Commodore SX-64 qualifies as on-topic, though perhaps
not as a laptop (unless you're morbidly obese).
HP75. It's arguable if this is a laptop, or a
notebook, or what. It's a
large pocket computer, running BASIC. 1 line LCD display. The processor
is an HP Capricorn, so it's certainly not Wintel. I think it's fair to
say that the HP71B is not a laptop (for all it's a very nice pocket
computer).
Fine then, I submit the Sharp/Casio "Tandy Pocket Computer" series, the
Quasar and Panasonic HHCs, and the Texas Instruments CC40 as well :-)
