TIL that there was a portable PC Engine in Japan in the shape of a laptop, this thing looks awesome. I searched eBay out of curiosity and it's eye-watering prices of course https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/1lncq12/the_nec_pc_engine_lt/

@djlink Japan was such a magical place for computers in the late 80s/early 90s. Just all manners of slightly unorthodox personal computers with kick-ass design. The MSX Turbo R was a complete dud, and still my dream computer for many years. The PCE was just a dream, only seen in blurry photos.

@djlink This was my holy grail until 2 years ago. I finally bought it (a broken one and fixed it). Over 30 years every time I saw it I found it to be too expensive, but it only got more expensive so 2 years ago I finally convinced myself it would be worth the money. It's awesome. But the screen is old.... Can't be compared to current quality screens.
