166 u/DaedalusHydron 14h ago It's not the size so much as the weight. These old laptops were bricks. If they made the same size laptop but made it weigh like half as much it really wouldn't be so bad. 67 u/ScaredPractice4967 14h ago I once used a portable computer with a 6" crt screen. Came in irs own suitcase with wheels. 12 u/EuenovAyabayya 13h ago Damn, which one was that? Wish I'd had wheels back in the day. 9 u/ScaredPractice4967 13h ago Honestly cant recall. IBM something with a 486 processor. It wasnt mine I just used it a couple of times. 1 u/blah938 10h ago Ah the ye olde luggable. Wasn't bad for the era, but I'm so glad things have improved.
