The Apple IIc, the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, was Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer. The end result was a luggable 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) notebook-sized version of the Apple II that could easily be transported from place to place.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.

Con il termine retrocomputing si indica una attività di "archeologia informatica" che consiste nel reperire, specialmente a costi minimi, computer di vecchie generazioni, che hanno rappresentato fasi importanti dell'evoluzione tecnologica, ripararli se sono danneggiati, metterli nuovamente in funzione e preservarli.
The thermal-bound version of the Oric-1 manual. This was written by John Scriven and published by Sunshine Publications. A copy was included with every Oric-1 package.
Our second PDP-11/34, with RL02 and RK05 interface cards. no cache. Also has a Versatek analog input card.
Work in progress on the HEX keypad. The generic 6425 push buttons & keytops get BECC self-adhesive vinyl lettering used by modellers. The key switches are mounted on conventional copper strip veroboard, with the IC sockets installed on Protoboard-3U.
The HP Integral PC (or HP 9807A) was a portable UNIX workstation computer system produced by Hewlett-Packard, launched in 1985. It was based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor (running at 8 MHz) and ran early version of the HP-UX operating system.

The Macintosh Plus computer was the third model in the Macintosh line, introduced on January 16, 1986, two years after the original Macintosh and a little more than a year after the Macintosh 512K, with a price tag of US$2599.

The MessagePad was the first series of personal digital assistant devices developed by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) for the Newton platform in 1993. Some electronic engineering and the manufacture of Apple's MessagePad devices was done in Japan by the Sharp Corporation. The devices were based on the ARM 610 RISC processor and all featured handwriting recognition software and were developed and marketed by Apple. The devices ran the Newton OS.

The Indy, code-named "Guinness", is a low-end workstation introduced on 12 July 1993. Developed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI), it was the result of their attempt to obtain a share of the low-end computer-aided design (CAD) market, which was dominated at the time by other workstation vendors; and the desktop publishing and multimedia markets, which were mostly dominated at the time by Apple Computer. It was discontinued on 30 June 1997 and support ended on 31 December 2011.

Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore Amiga 1081 monitor, The Arcade joystick, Hitachi boombox. And the Settlers!!!
As of June 2011, I am actively developping a Text adventure game for vintage computers.
The development machine is a Commodore vic-20 (seen here), but the game could eventually be ported to a couple of other platforms.
11 keyboards, 10 computers, 35 years of technology, all still very actively in use. The interdata model 70 might be gone by 2010.
Almost two decades before the iPad, there was another portable ARM-based device named the A4; it was Acorn's attempt at an Archimedes laptop. Apparently it was a commercial failure; it was expensive, the platform never took off, and the screen connection was prone to breaking. Still, it looks aesthetically on a par with anything Apple were doing around then.
