The Lappy 486 is Strong Bad's third and current computer, and is manufactured by Compy, Inc. It replaced the Compy 386 after it was infected with 423,827 viruses and shotgunned by Bubs.
This computer was first mentioned by The Brothers Chaps in the "invisibility" DVD commentary. Clicking on the Lappy's screen moves the liquid inside it, just like touching a real LCD screen. This is Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons. Its first appearence was in Strong Bad Email 119, "animal."
The Lappy 486 also seems to have somewhat up-to-date email software 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.
Here are its features:
- 42 pounds!!
- 2MB Hard Drive!
- "Several" Color Monitor
- Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes")
- 512 K Ram
"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy
Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy." He attempts to repeat it and is quite out of tune.
If you click on Lappy 486's screen, a small wave will appear on the screen, very similar to what happens if you poke the liquid crystal displays used on laptops.
The Lappy 486's screen ratio (aspect ratio) is 1.67 (width): 1 (height), as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 and a widescreen of 1.85:1.
