Bonus: The (real) story of the portable Amiga!

FULL STORY ======================================================================

In January of 1983, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, something amazing happened: The first, full color, portable computer was unveiled to
the world.

The Commodore Executive 64 was a truly amazing beast. A full powered Commodore 64 (itself released a mere 6 months earlier, in the summer of 82), in a completely portable form factor including a color, 5 inch, CRT monitor.

It was an amazing machine that was, perhaps, quite a bit ahead of its time.

Plus no joke it laid the groundwork for a (fully functional) portable Amiga prototype at Commodore. Seriously. Its real. Weve got pictures and
details.

But first the story of the Commodore Executive (better known as the SX-64).
