  • ALT2: ... that the RoadRunner (pictured), a laptop from 1983, stored data on removable RAM cartridges?
Logic: lots of machines of the era used cartridges and that's not terribly interesting. But a RAM cart? I can't recall any other machine of the era offering that kind of thing - some game carts stored high scores and such, but even that is relatively rare.

To my knowledge the only other laptop of the time that employed cartridges for data storage and software was the Sharp PC-5000, and that only had a paltry one. Cartridges were certainly common for games consoles and home computers, but for a business laptop (ostensibly all laptops back then were business laptops) I think it was quite the novelty.
