History (1991): 172 Notebooks With 2.5-Inch HDDs

Here is a list of 172 different models of notebook computers that have an integrated HDD, all 2.5 inches, with capacities ranging from 20 to 60MB, and some of them removable.

Other models with only a floppy drive are also available but don’t figure in this list. We only found one notebook with a flash card from ABC Computer. We have completed this list at last CeBIT 91.The name of the HDD is mentioned when it’s known. Most of these computers are manufactured in Taiwan or in Singapore.

This article is an abstract of news published on the former paper version of Computer Data Storage Newsletter on issue 39, published on April 1991.
