When I was at school they reckoned that I should be in the gifted program so I ended up getting one of the first laptops. This would have been in the very early 1990s and the thing weighed as much as a small whale and was built like a brick. I absolutely used it as a weapon.
It had a grayscale backlit LCD screen. It was seriously a terrible laptop really. It had an interesting mode on it where you could transfer files from it to another computer by plugging it in via a PS2 port, and it would declare itself to be a keyboard and it would just "type" whatever you'd written (of course you lost all formatting). Bit of a useless feature these days but it would have been a godsend back in the early 2000s when transferring files was still quite difficult.
