The first portable Atari ST computer was the Stacy, which I have previously written about (see: Atari STacy vs. Macintosh Portable), but do you know about the ST Book, the notebook Atari ST?

Goto 10 Retro: The Newsletter for Atari Enthusiasts is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Announced in October 1991, about the same time as the PowerBook 100 (the first Macintosh Notebook), the amazing ST Book is relatively unknown, probably because only about 1000 or so were made. I’m not even sure if it was ever actually sold in the US.

The ST Book originally started its R&D life as a pen-based computer and something called the STylus or ST Pad. That would have been something to see!

To my mind, this is the rarest of the Atari ST computers and I daresay it will be practically impossible to find one today, and if you did I can’t even imagine what it would sell for.
