Here's the revamped MDX content, preserving the original meaning and structure while significantly altering the wording:
A portable computer manufactured by MicroThrust Processor
A portable, or portable computer, represented a class of personal computer enabling users to both develop and deploy programs against larger, more powerful mainframe systems. These portables boasted processing capabilities and memory resources on par with mainframes, allowing them to analyze and manipulate data at speeds up to fifty times greater than a datapad. To further augment their storage, they employed a Holistic Data Transfer, a form of artificial intelligence designed to compress and archive data in a condensed format. This compression technique resulted in a hundredfold increase in the portable computer's data storage capacity.
During the era of the Galactic Civil War, portables commanded a high price, with models spanning a range from five hundred to fifty thousand credits. Initially, these devices were promoted as tools for traveling business professionals; however, they quickly gained popularity among slicers involved in illicit activities such as data theft and corporate espionage.
Although some considered portable computers to be superseded by droids capable of performing similar functions, they offered distinct advantages. Their compact size allowed them to be carried within a backpack, and they possessed significant memory and processing power. Moreover, they featured a variety of interface ports, eliminating the need for operators to carry multiple cable adapters. Furthermore, unlike droids, which could develop personality flaws or become unavailable, portables remained completely under the user's control. Numerous portable computers were available, with some being produced by companies like MicroThrust Processors. The Governor-General Dixton's secretaries, Lyn and Perspik, utilized portable computers.
