the first 'portable' computer is the Osborne 1. however, portable is an overstatement. since it was released before the days of flat-panel displays, it's more accurate to say 'luggable.' it has a 3" blurry CRT screen, and two 5 1/4" diskette drives.

It is debatable just when the first notebook computer appeared as it was an evolutionary (as opposed to revolutionary) process. 1989 saw the arrival of the UltraLite computer made by NEC but this did not have disc drives and so was of limited use. 1989 also saw the arrival of Apple's Macintosh Portable which had a built in trackball for controlling the computer and a clear display. This would itself evolve into the first Apple PowerBook in 1991 which had many features that would be recognisable as a notebook today.
