| - | [[Image:lappyemail.png|right|thumb|Lappy 486's email client]]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 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 (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are hidden by Strong Bad's head). 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==
| + | |
| - | ===Debut===
| + | |
| - | First seen in [[Strong Bad Email]] 119, "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Features===
| + | |

| + | |
| - | :*2MB Hard Drive!
| + | |
| - | :*"Several" Color Monitor
| + | |

| + | |
| - | :*"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Screen Ratio===
| + | |
| - | The Lappy's [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|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. Whenever the Lappy 486 is seen in a new email or toon, when you click on the screen to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors, the circle you get matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. Red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.), but after a few days or so, the circle is always white. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish [[Block]].

| - | ===Colors===
| + | |
| - | So far, the "Several" Color Monitor refered to in the email "animal" has proved to be 9:
| + | |
| - | :*'''Black: background color
| + | |
| - | :*'''White:''' text
| + | |
| - | :*'''Blue:''' email client title bar and shortcut keys
| + | |
| - | :*'''Magenta:''' (pink) Lappy 486 logo
| + | |
| - | :*'''Cyan:''' (light blue) Lappy 486 logo
| + | |
| - | :*'''Yellow:''' Lappy 486 logo, encore easter egg in the email [[rock opera]]
| + | |
| - | :*'''Puke Green:''' "bread sing-alongs" in the email [[origins]]
| + | |
| - | :*'''Red:''' new emails and mousing over emails on the menu, [[do over|do over]]
| + | |
| - | :*'''Orange''': the hair of Edga Jr.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===The Real Computer===
| + | |
| - | The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 38 pound "portable" Macintosh that sold poorly.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Font===
