From Amiga Format's Annual 1993, released at the end of 1992: AF's vision of the Amiga of the Future. Inspired by the then-recent release of the A600, this portable Amiga sports an LCD screen and a CD player. The specs for the miggy of 95? 030 processor, 2MB of RAM, AGA, and PCMCIA and IDE.

An artist's impression of the Amiga of the future (1995) from AF's 1992 perspective. It's somewhat like a big laptop, just with the AMiga's usual form factor with the sloping keyboard, a clamshell CD cover that I presume lifts next to the keyboard and a flat LCD screen. There#s a somewhat awkward hollow in the black plastic next to the screen to house the CD player cover when the lid is pulled down.

It's somewhat halfway between a true laptop and a luggable.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.
