The article says that: 1) the Powerbook 100 came out before other Powerbooks and was a "landmark Product", and 2)that the PB 100 "established the modern form and ergonomic layout of the laptop computer", while also strongly implying that Sony did the work that made it a landmark. This does not represent the actual history. |

The PB100, PB140, and PB170 were all introduced on the same day (Oct 21, 1991), so it was the family of products that were a landmark, not the PB100 by itself. The PB 100 was a low-end repackage job that got farmed out to Sony, largely due to resource constraint. Sony's role was limited to redesign of the Portable to fit into Apple-dictated industrial design. The PB140 and the PB170 (neither are even mentioned in the article)were Apple's focus, and the emphasis on the PB100 is misleading and inaccurate. |
