Of course, while I heartily agree with
mcc's writeup, let us not forget that the
iMac or even the
Compact Mac was not the first computer to come with a handle! For
nostalgia's sake, how many machines can you name that
predate the compact Mac and had handles as an
integral part of the case design? More
node-fu for those machines that were
all-in-ones, or close to it. I think we should disqualify
notebook computers, although it still strikes me as odd that things so expensive and mobile don't, often, have handles! Go Apple.
In any case, here's a few off the top of my head:
- The Kaypro
- The Apple IIc
- The PC/XT Portable and derivatives(heehee...I have one of these..."portable" my wide black beh...er, nevermind).
- The Osborne, for the world's first mass-market 'portable'
