The UltraLite is a line of notebook-sized laptops first released by NEC in 1988. The original model was released in October 1988, alongside the heavier and more-capable ProSpeed.[2] The UltraLite was the first notebook computer on the market compatible with the IBM PC.[3] The original model was based on the NEC V30 microprocessor; the computer includes MS-DOS 3.3 built into ROM.
PC Magazine featured the UltraLite on its cover in November 1988[4] and shortly thereafter journalists began referring to any A4-sized computer as "notebooks", to distinguish them from the larger and heavier laptops of the time.[5]
