One of my favourite things I've never got working, a gift from a coworker that his mother used in the '80s. Amstrad PPC 512 luggable computer that, like any good '80s portable, runs off batteries you can buy at the supermarket. This one takes C cells though, and 8 of them, so it gets heavy quick. AA cells for scale.
This one powers on fine but I struggled to get floppies working in the weird 720kb format it uses, so it's been in the "too hard" pile for a few years.
Part of me wants to gut it and build a Raspberry Pi cyberdeck into the shell but there's no way I can justify that while it still works.
