Semi-portable typewriters
An in-between class: machines sold as portables but bigger, heavier and more feature-rich than a typical portable, sometimes with a wider carriage. They are easier to type on for long sessions than an ultra-portable and much easier to move than a desk standard. On this site the Olivetti Studio 44 and the Royal Futura 800 fall into this group. Because they get less attention than the famous portables, they often sell for less: in late 2026 Studio 44s asked about $170–250 delivered on eBay and Futura 800s about $120–230. Check that the case is present, since larger cases were often discarded.
