Sun made the lunchbox format Voyager, which is related to the SPARCstation
LX and SPARCclassic.

The most popular OEM of SPARC laptops is Tadpole. You're most likely to
find Tadpole SPARCbook 2 or 3 series machines. The SPARCbook 2s are
similar in performance to the SPARCstation 2, and the 3s are similar in
performance to the SPARCstation 5s of various speeds.

SPARCbook 3s of various flavours appear with moderate frequency on eBay
and go for wildly varying prices. A well configured 110 MHz 3GX (colour
LCD, 1 GB disk, 64 MB RAM, some extras) should be under $1000.

ok
