Small Laptops arent as new as you may think
Enjoy this nostalgic review from October 1997:
The Libretto mini-notebook personal computer incorporates a 2.5-inch hard disk drive. At about one-third the size of a sheet of A4 paper, these pocket PCs incorporate a wide 7.1-inch TFT color LCD and a lithium ion battery. Windows 95 is installed as the operating system (a very stable version of Windows…though i think it would just about surf the web nowadays!!)
The laptop incorporates a light speed, Mach 5 powerhouse of a processor delivering an awesome 166MHz (MMX Pentium) and a hard disk drive with 2.0GByte capacity (not bad considering some laptops are still sold with 2GB solid state disks ..ed)
There’s also a 75Mhz version available in case the 166Mhz is just too darn quick on the eye!!
