my first PC going to college in 1988, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPC_512 4.7Mhz, 512kb RAM and a floppy drive, it could run a fortran compiler (rather slowly)

Although if you had access to a TV and a power socket at the destination my Sinclair QL was probably a more capable and lighter 'portable'

Still got one. :)

It has an awesome design and it can also be seen in some movies (names don't come to mind though, but I've seen them), e.g. painted in some fancy color. :)
