The Atari Portfolio

At first glance you might not recognise this palmtop computer which was launched by Atari in 1989. Take a closer look and you’ll notice it was the same device used by the young John Connor to steal money from an ATM and get a code in the lab scene near the end of Terminator 2.

Just look at those specs.
