Motorola "portable"

For what it's worth...
I looked through my collection of Consumer Reports and the January, 1969 issue has a report on portable/table model sets, including a Motorola CT668EW. It had a 20" screen as opposed to the rest of the tested sets, most of which had 18" screens.
Does that count as portable?
CR lists models CT650E, CT606C, and CT669E as having similar chassis.
Just as an aside, I find it interesting how badly Motorola, Magnavox, and RCA sets did in Consumer Reports's ratings. I have most of the 60's and you can pretty much count on Magnavox trailing the ratings, along with the never-popular Wards Airline.
