Spread 'em wide for the TETRASmart "laptop"

By Ryan Block

We're not really sure how it counts as a laptop, since if you had it sitting on your lap one of two things would happen: 1. your femur would be quickly crushed under its 21½lb weight, or 2. you would dislocate your shoulders reaching for the keyboard which is elevated 13-inches off your thighs. And despite its 1981-laptop stylings (including roller-mouse), if you are looking for a portable computer (and we do use the term very loosely here) with an eloxed aluminum case, a Pentium 4 processor, up to 2GB RAM, 15.1-inch screen, and, get this, four full-length PCI/ISA
card slots, then look no further than the TETRASmart. For when you absolutely positively must be able to drop your laptop from 25-feet.
