Read'em and weep.. IBM PS/2 E was by far the first commercially advertised eco-friendly PC. Circa 1993. It used a 2.5" laptop hard drive, along with a low power IBM built 486SLC processor. The system was notable in that it had 4 PCMCIA slots, lie flat or on it's side, and had an optional TFT display. The IBM model number was 9533. NEC missed by 9 years.
