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.
By today's standards half of the machines would not qualify as notebooks since they were more luggable than portable. 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.
