Just a little proof/history as well :)

 1981: Osborne I

Invented by Adam Osborne, the Osborne I was the world's first portable computer.
By today's standards, it wouldn't exactly be portable because of the fact that
it weighed a whopping 24 pounds. The computer had a 5-inch display, 64 kilobytes
of memory, a modem, and two 5-ΒΌ floppy disk drives. It sold for $1,795.
