Iโm Tired And Everything Hurts@Gammitin Is this @NanoRaptor again?
Pete / Syllopsium@guffo @Gammitin @NanoRaptor No. It was an actual product, I remember it too.
I have a vague memory that the printer had a separate battery to the laptop, and this was called out in the reviews.
The one I lusted after was the Transnote. I also had the 701 'butterfly' which, unfortunately, was a miniaturisation too far. Yes, it looked cool as heck, but the X series successors were on balance much better.

Ray McCarthy@Gammitin A BJC85 was a handy laptop accessory in 1998 or 1999.
NT 4.0 & Red Hat Linux.
Expensive to run!
Sassinake! แ โช โฉ โI mean. They were B usiness M achines.
@Gammitin

Also the earlier Epson computers with a microcassette drive and "till roll" size printer.

The Turtle@Gammitin the standalone Canon BubbleJets were surprisingly accurate printers for 1988. I had one, it was a lot better looking than your typical Epson dot-matrix of that size at the time. Probably hard to find drivers and supplies now.
And cheap-ass lasers abound in 2026.

gloriouscowwe had an original bubblejet and it wasn't much smaller than that computer so i'm really wondering how the computer bits and printer bits all fit together
the bubblejet was so magical after years of loud-ass dot matrix. just swish-swish.
also boy did they use the ink. that stuff would come out wet. if you used cheap paper it would ripple
this is pretty small for a printer even today. but as a i recall feeding paper into it kind of sucked.
Jon Williams@Gammitin I did Thinkpad customer support ca 1996 or so and Iโd forgotten all about these!
Ari [APz] Sovijรคrvi@Gammitin The ink cartridges must've been extra cheap for this one ๐
antonin jousse@Gammitin it is so beautiful!!!!
Bi-mothy Rezendes@Gammitin I had to look this up on multiple sources to convince myself it wasn't a @NanoRaptor original
