Then you're lucky not to have suffered the torture of carrying mid-90s Compaq bricks (I mean, laptops) around. My Wallstreet is a joy to carry, and is worth the power.
I learned this the hard
way back in the mid 90s. I owned a PowerBook 5300c and a Duo 210 (as well
as a desktop PowerMac), and it was the Duo that saw the most use.
Kind of funny. I always though of the 5300 / 190 as tiny compared to other laptops.
Even today, many times I find my newish (rev B) 12" PowerBook to be a bit
too bulky and instead grab my 4-year-old laptop PC, which instead of 4.6lbs
weighs only 3.4. If Apple would take the current 12" PB and shave 1/2" of
thickness and 1lb of weight (by ditching the optical drive), I'd buy one
right away.
Simply amazing.
