Some historians, however, count as the first "true" portable the Osborne 1. It was created in 1981
by Adam Osborne who was also a former book publisher. He was the founder of Osborne
Computer. His portable computer weighed 11 kg (24 pounds).
The computer had a five-inch screen, a serial port and two floppy disk drives. Several programs
were included with the Osborne 1. Customers could also buy a 1-hour battery pack.
Also in 1981, another laptop computer called Epson HX-20 went on sale. It was a portable
computer with a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor. The computer also included a built-in
printer. The whole device could be battery powered.
One year later, in 1982, two computer designers from Microsoft, Kazuhiko Nishi and Bill Gates,
discussed a new portable computer. The main thing about the computer was a new LCD
technology. The prototype of the new laptop was presented to Radio Shack. Radio Shack agreed
to start making the computer. A year later the company launched its TRS-80 Model 100, which
was a computer that looked pretty much like the laptops that we know today. In 1986 the
company created its improved version called TRS Model 200. The following two years saw the
appearance of a laptop PC from Compaq Computers and the first notebook-style laptop from
NEC called NEC UltraLite.
The year 1989 was quite successful for laptop producers. First there was Apple Computer that
developed its first portable computer called Macintosh Portable the evolution of which turned it
into PowerBook. Then the company named Zenith Data Systems introduced its Zenith MinisPort
– a portable computer weighing 6 pounds (2.5 kg). Finally there was Compaq Computer that
designed its first laptop PC called Compaq LTE.
The development of laptops continued with various upgrades and additional functions added. In
2005, an organisation called One Laptop Per Child started trying to improve education using
cheap laptops.
