Comments

One-sentence lead is insufficient.
And citations can be in the main body as everything in the lead should be covered and referenced in the main prose.
I think it's reasonable to link laptop, desktop and tower in this context.
"color passive-matrix LCDs or color active-matrix LCDs" link these technologies.
"hard drive ... 120 to 340 MB. ... 3.5 inch floppy drive" link all these.
"inch floppy disk drive underneath" link first time.
" 4 lb and measured only an inch high" convert to metric.
"1998 they left" I would comma after 1998.
"wrote in CNET that" on CNET?
Don't auto-collapse the table.
It looks like you're forcing the table width to 100%, why do that?
No need for small text.
Date formats in refs should be consistently formatted.

That's all I have for now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:47, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PhotographyEdits unless we start seeing progress on this in the next few days I'm afraid I'll have to fail it. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:32, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man Sorry, I completely forgot about this nomination. I'll work on it. PhotographyEdits (talk) 13:17, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PhotographyEdits five days have passed since you left that note, but I don't believe any progress has been made. I'll archive this nomination shortly if nothing is done. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 07:30, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done, please let me know if there is anything missing. Sorry for the delay. PhotographyEdits (talk) 19:46, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that the thin Digital HiNote notebook was advertised on TV by pulling it from an envelope in the early 1990s? https://www.wired.com/2008/01/dec-hinote-the/

Digital HiNote Ultra

ALT1:... that Digital pulled their HiNote Ultra laptop out of a manila envelope on television nearly 15 years before Apple? Source: "Valleywag, via an anonymous tipster, reports that the "manila envelope" reveal for a small laptop is far from new. DEC, if the tipster's memory serves, used the same wowser technique to show off a HiNote Ultra—almost 15 years ago. This thing looks somewhat ungainly now. But it was, as the ad copy tells us, only an inch thick." (Wired) DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are several citations to PR Newswire which are promotional articles from the company per WP:PRSOURCE. I think these are not ever acceptable for DYK, but this did pass a GA review so I will ask for input on the DYK talk page. SL93 (talk) 06:50, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did more research and it looks to be acceptable in this case so - new enough, long enough, and no copyright violations. A QPQ is not needed. The hook is directly cited. The image is fine. SL93 (talk) 06:56, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slightly modified ALT1 to T:DYK/P6 without image
