Portable envy on a circuit board. Note the classic "green with envy" glow.

Portable envy is envy (nonfiction) which has been removed from an individual, and stored for transportation and later experience.

Circuit boards

Early versions of portable envy exploited vulnerable components on circuit boards.

Manufacturers initially substituted cheaper components to save money during the Capacitor plague (nonfiction) years.

Subsequently, pirate manufacturers have released knock-off circuit boards with built-in portable envy features.
