The history of Atari computers
Atari hasn't always been all about gaming. From the late '70s to the early '90s, the company produced a series of interesting and unusual desktops and laptops, including one that had a starring role in 'Terminator 2.'
Atari ST Book (1990)
In December 1990, Atari released an ultrathin laptop in its Atari ST line in Europe. Unlike the hefty Stacy before it, the ST Book was amazingly thin and light for its time. By omitting an internal floppy drive, Atari was able to make the ST Book just 1.4 inches thick and less than 5 pounds. However, the ST Book's extremely fragile plastic case and LCD screen were prone to breaking, which may be why the company limited its production to an astonishingly small 1000 units.
