Amstrad PC · 1987
The first laptop-shaped PC most British buyers ever handled: a full keyboard, a supertwist LCD, two floppy drives and ten C-cells, with a modem socket on the back. It is not a laptop — it is far too heavy to use on one — but it runs for hours on shop batteries and folds shut, which in 1987 was remarkable at the price. The screen hinge is the usual break.
