    But they still look the same. They both have a screen and keys and stuff. I'd expect the modern ones to have like touch screens, 3D and stuff.. from the 1993 point of view of course.

    I remember using a laptop like that when I was in grade five. They had them in the computer room for a week long period, all the parents were so exited!
