Why was the LCD so rare, anyway?
It seems that with a battery, this could be a real laptop.
How much did the LCD cost then?
You're looking for an apple IIc. Unfortunately the LCD screen is a
VERY rare
perepheral commanding a multi-hundred dollar price.
The 9 inch
diagonal
green monochrome screen isn't MUCH bigger and is
far more common.
You can get them refurbished (I think) from alltech electronics
(www.allelec.com)
or go to comp.sys.apple2.marketplace - I think the
basic 2c is going
for
around US$22 for the machine and the power supply.
The 9 inch monitor goes for $49US from Alltech - refurbished. Probably
less on comp.sys.apple2.marketplace.

Not many were produced as demand was low due to high price.

laptop.
That was the intent. Optional external batteries were available in its
day to make it fully portable.

$A lot.
