As a sort-of aside, the HP110 and 110+ (Portable and PortablePlus) 
machines were 8086-based laptops running MS-DOS (but not at all 
PC-compatible at the BIOS or hardware levels) with static RAM. Row upon 
row of 6264s (8K byte static RAM chips -- my Portable+ has, IIRC, 112 of 
them in SOIC pacakges. My 110 has rather fewer, but all in DIL packages, 
there's a PCB the size of the base of the machine containg the CPU, ROMs, 
a bit of support logic, and loads of RAMs
