The Quaderno was a miniportable (smaller than a regular) notebook, produced by Olivetti in two versions since 1992: Quaderno (PT-XT-20) and Quaderno 33 (PT-AT-60).
History[edit]
When it made its debut in 1992,[1] this model releases a good idea of a laptop that was smaller (has the same size as an A5 sheet) and light (1 kg against the average weight of 3 kg of a laptop of the same period) notebook. The first version did not have the expected success, despite having an excellent processor and also features unknown to the contemporaries, such as the microphone and integrated amplifiers. The main reason for this failure was the strong limitations of the operating system, not up to the potential of the computer. For this reason, Olivetti decided to present a new version just one year after the first, the Quaderno 33, equipped with the operating system Windows 3.1.
