Apple's first attempt at a portable battery powered computer was the Macintosh Portable. It was powered by a superfast 16MHz processor with 1MB of RAM. It had 4MB of ROM and weighed 7.2kgs. Wonder why it was called a portable and not a luggage bag.
The PowerBook 100 was unveiled at the COMDEX computer expo in Las Vegas, on October 21, 1991 at an affordable $2300. It was still powered by the breathtakingly fast 16MHz processor, 2-8MB of Memory, 9-inch monochrome backlit LCD display with a resolution of 640x400. The iPad today is thousands of times more powerful than this machine.
