[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Want info/recommendations for a portable Mac

gpw@beta.lanl.gov (Geoff Walsh) (04/04/91)

I'm trying to help someone buy a Mac.  They want a portable, but I
don't know what's good, what's not, and what's coming in the next few
months.

Does anyone have any positive recommendations for a portable Mac (or
an Outbound) or whatever would be good for travel, for use in
airplanes, hotel rooms and at clients.  Applications will probably be
just MacDraw, Excel and MS Word.  No printer needed.  It will be used
mostly for writing and putting together presentations.

I haven't been getting MacWeak, so I'm not up on the latest rumors of
what some unnamed Japanese electronics giant is going to build for
Apple.  The timeframe is to buy within the next three months.  I've heard
that Apple wants to get serious about the laptop market this year.

Any suggestions from the experts/users out there?  (I don't usually
follow the laptop market)

E-Mail please so as not to waste bandwidth.

Thanks in advance.
