In my first job I used a Compaq 'portable' computer with a built-in
keyboard and 9-inch monochrome monitor. And it did require a dolly of
sorts; more like what we use today to wheel luggage around the airport.

Later we graduated to a Toshiba 'laptop' which we eventually had to
leave at the office, since it drew such a crowd everywhere we went that
it was hard to get work done.

Moot point. Much to my delight, my 9000 arrived with no crapware.
