Best Answer

The typical personal computer was about the same size and weight as a full-size desktop computer today ... it was just a lot less powerful.

I owned a computer in the 1980s that weighed little more than a smartphone. It wasn't an especially powerful computer, and the output was limited to a single line of text on an LCD display, but it was undeniably a computer, and could be programmed in a version of the BASIC programming language.
