How old was Adam osborne when he invented the laptops?

Answer 1

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.

Answer:

adam osborne created the first true laptop in 1981 in San Francisco.

Answer:

The Osborne 1 was certainly not a laptop--it was portable, but it weighed 25 pounds and it was certainly too big to place on your lap. Also, i t had no internal battery, so you had to plug it in.

The first commercial computer that had an internal battery and you could place on your lap was the Epson HX-20, which was also introduced in 1981, but it only had a 4-line LCD display.

The first commercial computer which was a true laptop was the GRiD Compass 1101, introduced in 1982, which had a clamshell case, weighed 11 lbs., had a full-size display and could run off (external) batteries. It was the cutting edge of technology, but was also insanely expensive (over $8,000).

Answer 3

Osborn's Osborn-1 was NOT a laptop in any way, unless you like having 50 pounds of computer on your lap with a tiny 5 inch screen a belly level instead of eye level. It is usually referred to as a luggable computer. It was only practical to use on a desktop, plugged into an outlet.

The first real laptop was the Gridsystem-1, which flew on several Shuttle missions.
