- ... that a reviewer noted that the LCD of Packard Bell's first laptop suffered from "an occasional case of the shakes"? Source: "Unfortunately, the PB286LP lapses into mediocrity when it comes to display technology. Its backlit LCD screen is big enough and bright enough, but its clarity is marred by persistent ghosting (streaking) and an occasional case of the shakes" (O'Malley 1989, p. 194, ProQuest 199377704).
- ALT1: ... that roughly 3.5 lb (1.6 kg) of the PB286LP laptop's 16 lb (7.3 kg) weight is taken up by the battery? Source: "Packard Bell's laptop weighs in at a hefty 16-plus pounds, including its 3.5-pound removable, rechargable nickel cadmium battery" (Miller 1990, p. 250).

Overall: 
A good, snappy little article. I think that the InfoWorld citation should mention that the mention of the laptop is on page 14, not 10. I don't know about "dinged it one star" either. However, this is not a GA review, it's a DYK, and these things are fine. Ping me when the QPQ is done and I'll pass it. jp×g 04:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- @JPxG: QPQ done and rephrased "dinged" :) (the article is a two-pager; I cited p. 14 in the shortened footnote). Thanks for the review! DigitalIceAge (talk) 21:02, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
Looks good to me. jp×g 20:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- Promoter's comment to @DigitalIceAge: if "the shakes" is a common aphorism, I would love to see a hook about that, as well. Nice work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 10:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
