The Osborn-1 was hardly a laptop, it weighed ~25 pounds and had to be plugged in to run. I don't know about you but I would have trouble with 25 pounds of computer on my lap and a 5 inch screen shining at my belly instead of my face. It was a luggable tabletop computer.
It is a little hard to determine what was the first portable or laptop computer, the first portable computers did not look like the book-sized and folding laptops that we are familiar with today, however, they were both portable and lapable, and lead to the development of notebook style laptops. The first laptop designed in 1979 by a Briton, William Moggridge, for Grid Systems Corporation, the Grid Compass was one fifth the weight of any model equivalent in performance and was used by NASA on the space shuttle program in the early 1980's. The computer considered by most historians to be the first true portable computer was the Osborne 1. Adam Osborne, an ex-book publisher founded Osborne Computer and produced the Osborne 1 in 1981, a portable computer that weighed 24 pounds and cost $1795.
