The original Mac had a built-in handle for carrying it around (and Apple sold a bag with a shoulder wrap for doing that), too, but unlike this device, it wasn’t battery powered.
So, it was portable, but not “a portable”.
- toast0 3y agoIn the IBM compatable world, portable was definitely a category, and it didn't include batteries. From my one encouter with a compaq portable, I think it was a lot harder to carry than a Mac SE, but at least you could attach the keyboard to the front for transport, and no mouse needed. If you had the Mac shoulder bag, I guess it probably had room for a keyboard and mouse though.
