30 years later you can't go outside without seeing someone with a laptop computer. And it can be a $300 machine or a $900 machine the size of a piece of paper with 10+ hours of battery life. Who could fathom a $4,000 laptop in this day and age, much less whatever that is in today's dollars.

Back then there was no connectivity outside of modems, color screens were a luxury much less something with the power to run a GUI.

The laptop industry went through so many changes and fads, even to the point of Canon building one with a built-in inkjet printer. It's amazing how far technology has come.
