It starts by comparing the Atari Portfolio to the earlier Toshiba T1100, one of the first portable computers, highlighting the significant price and size differences between the two devices.
The article then delves into the history of the Atari Portfolio, explaining that it was originally developed by a British company, DIP Research Ltd., and later licensed to Atari for sale.
