What somewhat puzzles me about these early portables (also including e.g. the Macintosh Portable, sold 1989–1991, in a similar form factor) is the manufacturers’ insistence on putting a (heavy) mains transformer inside the chassis.

The transformer was outboard on this machine, like a modern computer. It had its own Velcro compartment in the carrying bag.
