Somewhere at the bottom of a pile, is an Apple Newton and a Powerbook 100 [IIRC purchased 2nd hand]. My first hands-on experience was with the Apple ][.

PowerBook 100
The PowerBook 100 is a portable subnotebook personal computer designed and manufactured by Sony for Apple Computer and introduced on October 21, 1991, at the COMDEX computer expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Priced at US$2,500 with external floppy drive, the PowerBook 100 was the low-end model of the first three simultaneously released PowerBooks. Wikipedia
In the mid-nineties I rode the city bus to work, [re]reading Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoomian novels on the Newton.
