May 1992

Perhaps the most eye-catching section of this month's magazine was a group test with the first eight laptops to feature colour displays.

The performance winner was the Compaq Portable 486c which, at 15in wide, looked more like a small suitcase than a notebook computer. It didn't use batteries, but it did have a gorgeous

256-colour TFT display panel.
