I've got an Apple IIc that has a rechargable battery pack and LCD... but you
know that already.
There's a Tandy 200 at the thrift store here, it has MS BASIC, MultiPlan,
and a word processor built in, 24K ram, etc. running on a ROM version of
CP/M, I assume. It's got a 40x12 LCD or something close to that.
Radio Shack/Tandy had several "pocket computers" back in the day that were
calculator-sized and had BASIC built in.
I think there was also a "learning computer" that was basically an Apple II
with some built-in software and maybe too cartridges, too. I don't have
all the details on that, though... someone else might. I can't even
remember the brand that was supposed to produce it or if they even did.
