The little one is 17" by 17" by about 2", and weighs close to 20lbs.[1]
That's portable in the same sense that a sewing machine is portable.
It won't fit in any birefcase or laptop bag I've ever seen, and would
only fit in carry-on luggage if you put it *diagonally* in the bag.
And people complain that the 2100 is uncomfortably large...
[1] 43cm by 43 cm by 5cm, 8 1/2 kilos
