Then there are the lovely but old Toshiba Librettos.
Nice TFT colour screens but only 640 x 480.
Massive 750 MB hard drives as standard :-)
Size of a boxed VHS cassette (ie extremely compact).

Versions with 75 MHz Pentium to about 150 MHZ afair.
They originally came with Windows 95, as an indication of age. They 
appear on trademe regularly at highly variable prices.

Lots on the web about them.


I've been thinking for a long while, and just may get to try it some 
day, that one of these with eg VNC to a compact modern motherboard, 
would give you a compact display and keyboard and decent processing 
power. The super keen could use a 802.11x link so the Libretto was 
essentially stand alone.
