Heh... I had a 130 (maybe a 120 - I missed-the-boat on getting a 2000)... and a PCMCIA modem card connected to a Motorola flip - I was reading usenet/sending emails online at coffee shops sooooo far ahead of WiFi...
... except in that combination, you could see your battery level dropping in real-time...

You should watch the Apple Newton commercials too:

I love stuff like this. There's a great episode of the 90s PBS show Computer Chronicles with a ton of these:

(Though at the time of this comment the Internet Archive seems to be down so if the video doesn't load, that's why.)
Still have my Newton. tbh it ended up being a lot less useful then what I imagined it to be. Still a cool toy.

Those Newton commercials are awesome, I love that dark humor.
