My first one looked like below. Hyperion computer. Beat the Compaq to market by about 3 months, was 10 lbs lighter (at 18 lbs vs 28 for the Compaq) and came with a very nice carrying case that I still have somewhere. It would fit under the seat of an airplane.

I used to haul it strapped to the back seat of my '83 Honda Silverwing GL650 all over the DC metro area.

It was a much better design than the Compaq but didn't make it because it was also twice the price at about $4,500 versus $2,700 for the Compaq
