Invented and made are two separate issues. The first true laptops made were built by GRiD Systems Corporationand one of their first users was NASA on the space shuttle.
However they were obviously invented long before all the necessary technologies for them existed, as many companies made attempts of various levels of success before GRiD was actually able to make one practical. You do not need to be able to actually build something to invent and patent it, the important thing in an invention is just to get the idea and then clearly explain it in the patent application.
The two key enabling technologies missing when the laptop was first invented were reliable inexpensive lightweight flat-panel displays and compact lightweight high power density rechargeable batteries.
