Yes, I like these candidates. I don't remember the HP's or Nexgen
though. I loved the Thinkpad 701's - my crowd referred to them as the
"transformer" laptops after the kids toy robots.

I'd add the Compaq Portable III, if only because I like plasma displays.
Also the IBM convertibles and PC Juniors. Perhaps I'd throw in a PS2
only because they were so different.
