The "Book386" (a Hand386 in the Book8088 case) that I've long wanted was just released (called the Pocket 386)! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805356267711.html

@vga256 @polpo You might think you're joking but back around 1998 Toshiba Librettos with this spec used to sell for about ten times the price.

@cstross @vga256 @polpo Did they do less-than Pentium Librettos?

@jxyzn @vga256 @polpo IIRC the first Libretto was a Pentium 50MHz (I had a second-hand one), but there were earlier pocket-sized laptops, all the way to the Atari Portfolio, aka the DIP Pocket PC (an 80C88 from 1989) which ran on 3 AA cells!

@cstross @vga256 @polpo Oh yeah, the Portfolio! Great for ATM-hacking, as shown in the T2 documentary. I wish I still had my Portfolio. I'd settle for a HP 200lx...
