Compaq Portable III

RH-VNT4

The luggable reinvented: a slim case with a gas-plasma screen that folds down over the keyboard, and an expansion box on the back for ISA cards. The orange plasma display is the reason people want one — it is beautiful and nothing else looks like it. It also runs extremely hot.
