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. The omission of the primary products and and the emphasis on the PB100 is inaccurate. |
