PC Magazine fibbed on the front cover.  They reviewed oodles of machines,
and probably caught just about everything, but they neglected to mention
their omission of portables.  Given the small number of such machines, I
would think they could have added another ten pages to their immensely
long (and hence unreadable) article.  It is a reasonable reference, though.
