Yep. Possibly the first factory-assembled open-loop water cooled portable PC, but I'd bet Falcon Northwest (among others) have them beaten there too. Also, portable, with exposed tubing and other components sticking out? Sure, I guess, as long as you don't mind it breaking.
Both Falcon and Alienware have them beat on a sff water cooled system. But I don't recall either company billing it as portable. The Alienware definitely was the Falcon less so with that granite base.
Wasn't there some laptop that came out in the past three-ish years that had a water cooled docking station too? Anyway, the idea of a small and easily moved PC with liquid cooling is nice, but that particular design is not visually or functionally appealing in the least.

It is not the world first, ZOTAC (Magnus EN980) and Corsair (Corsair One i160) have their own mini PC with watercooling.PeachNCream - Friday, May 31, 2019 - link
