I worked at an Apple dealer when the Portable came out. We called it the "Mac Luggable".

Its carry bag had only a shoulder strap. It should have had a full-blown backpack to distribute the weight better.

I remember a single-panel comic from one of the Mac rags at the time -- MacWorld? MacUser? wasn't there an IT-oriented tabloid-format Mac mag? -- anyway, kind of reminiscent of a New Yorker cartoon, an adult with his arm moderately flexed and a child looking on in awe, perhaps grasping his bicep, with the caption, "That's the arm daddy uses to carry his Mac Portable"
