I am having a bit of a debate as to whether the Apple //c was the
lightest portable computer around at the time in 1984, weighing 7 1/2
pounds and could be bundled with flat-panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
screen.
I'm prepared to bet the Epson HX-20 was lighter. It already had the
screen built in. Also the Grundy Newbrain AD... And what about the Tandy
100/102 or even 200?
Some of the above also used batteries, making them far more portable ;)
