Possibly off topic, but does anyone remember a very similar looking laptop but with a black and white lcd screen which was potentially touch screen too? I've got half a memory of them from around Y2K but I'm now I'm thinking that I'm mashing together a clamshell G3 with a Palm Pilot in my head and it might not of existed.
I do miss the colourful, cutesy but extremely capable Mac's of the G3/G4 era. I'm sure it's rose tinted glasses on my part, but computing seemed much more fun and positive back then :/
Definitely the eMate. The clamshell Newton. I very much wanted one back in the day but could never really justify it. Settled for a Palm + folding keyboard combo.

The new M1 iMacs bring that back a bit. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it spread to the MacBook Air.
Yeah the Apple eMate?
