I've still got one of these in a closet somewhere. I suppose it could be called a laptop, depending on the size of your lap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Portable

(edit: on second thought, it most likely requires at least two laps.)

Me too. I haven't fired it up in at least a year, but last time I tried it booted up with no problem other than some alarming smoke coming from the air vent. Seeing that customized autoexec.bat float up in ghostly green letters really brought me back.
