ST Book, the Notebook Atari ST


A surprisingly innovative portable ST

Announced in October 1991, about the same time as the PowerBook 100(the first Macintosh Notebook), the amazing ST Book is relatively unknown, probably because only about 1000 or so were made. To my mind, this is the rarest of the Atari ST computers and I daresay it will be practically impossible to find one today, and if you did I can’t even imagine what it would sell for. The PowerBook 100 originally sold for $2500 (about $5700 in 2024), but it came with the external floppy, NiCad battery pack and charger, all of which were optional with the ST Book.
