I had an 8086 "laptop" for a while in the 90s, mostly as a novelty. It took something like 10 C batteries (though I never took it anywhere as it was 5kg), had 512kB of RAM, no hard disk, two 720kb floppy drives, a full size keyboard (!), a flip up monochrome LCD screen similar to this one, and an external monochrome monitor port (but you could only use one screen at a time, controlled by DIP switches). I think it might have been this one: https://www.peterkernwein.de/Rechengeraete-Sammlung/amstrad_ppc512.htm https://www.peterkernwein.de/Rechengeraete-Sammlung/amstrad_....

I mainly used it with the external screen for reading text files and amateur ebooks, at the end of my bed.
