| | IBM 5155 portable computer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The Portable is not really a new, redesigned IBM computer, it's actually just the same motherboard as the IBM desktop system installed in a carry-around case with a built-in monitor and floppy drives. |
 | | The 5155 was IBM's response to the Compaq Portable computer, which was released one year prior, costs $700 less, but has the same CPU and runs just as fast. |
 | | This wasn't IBM's first portable computer, that would be the IBM 5100, released in 1975 - It was revolutionary, and extremely expensive. |
