I remember when portable computers first hit the market. They weren’t called laptops then because you would need a lap as big as Paul Bunyan’s to hold one. But as technology advanced, they became smaller and smaller. The smaller they became, the more powerful they seemed to become as well. That trend has continued until, well, now. Those good ol’ days of large luggable portable computers are back, but this time with a purpose.

The main market focus, according to PC Magazine, is for the student who may be limited in the amount of living space.
