[Amstrad PPC512]
...
 Strange looking computer IMHO. It's the only laptop
with a full-sized 
keyboard (including cursor pad and numeric pad). The thing is wider than 
a PDP11.... 
Nope...  How about the Altima 1 and 2?  (See
http://www.sinasohn.com/clascomp/alt2.htm) Not quite the standard layout,
but still a full keyboard, iirc.  I think also, some of the new machines
with the 15" screens have full keyboards.  

But yes, the PPC512 (and PPC640) are definitely odd ducks!
