I had a compaq 'portable' that was the size of an old, big, not-yet invented
486, but had a monitor embedded in the box. 15 years later, my brother
tried to use this computer for something real, and I had to explain to him
why I couldn't shlep around this thing, and why it wouldn't do that much
for him altogether.

He probably still has it.
