The Lappy 486 is Strong Bad's third and current computer, and is manufactured by Compy, Inc.
The Lappy 486 has a more modern email program with a subject line, a reply pane, and easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. However, when Strong Bad clears the screen, all of it disappears and he continues typing.
Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy." His attempt to repeat it is quite out of tune.
Also see Female Lappy 486.
Quick Facts
- The 486 was actually a real processor made by Intel. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.
- Presumably, the Lappy has a LCD screen, like most other laptops. LCD screens don't show reflections, so we shouldn't be able to see the reflection of Strong Bad's head on the Lappy's screen.
Debut: First seen in Strong Bad Email 119, "animal." First mentioned by The Brothers Chaps in the "invisibility" DVD commentary.
Features:
- 42 pounds!! ("Extremely portable", according to Strong Bad)
- 2MB Hard Drive!
- "Several" Color Monitor
- Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in part-time job)
- 512K RAM
- "Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy
Screen Ratio: The Lappy's aspect ratio is 1.67:1 (width:height) or 5:3, as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 (4:3), a high-definition screen of 1.78:1 (16:9), and a widescreen of 1.85:1.
Interactive Feature: Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on laptop LCDs: applied force moves the liquid inside (a Liquid Crystal Display), causing a "wave" of distorted colors. Unlike the Compy 386, the Lappy features no "back" button. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish Block.
- So far, the "Several" Color Monitor refered to in the email animal has proved to be 7:
- Black: background color
- White: text
- Blue: email client title bar and shortcut keys
- Pink: Lappy 486 logo
- Cyan (light blue): Lappy 486 logo
- Yellow: Lappy 486 logo, encore easter egg in the email rock opera
- Green: "bread sing-alongs" in the email origins
Trivia
- The shelling for all 3 computers has been the same color.
