NEC UltraLite (jan 1, 1988 – jan 1, 1988)
Description:
In 1988, Japan’s NEC was introduced as a really compact laptop of its time. It was actually something people could carry in their bags as it weighed hardly 2 kg; which was quite impressive for the 1980s. It was powered by NEC’s own V30 processor, with 9.5MHz, 64K of RAM, and up to 2 MB of storage. This UltraLite’s starting price was around $4,000. If the design were slimmer, it could easily be passable as a laptop from the 2000s.
