The Xerox Notetaker computer was never introduced, in the sense of it being sold to the public. It was an internal Xerox PARC project started in 1978 and cancelled in early 1980 after only a few prototypes had been built.
Most of the pages about it on the web get some of the details wrong. All of the technical information can be found in Bitsavers or one of its mirrors. See Related Links, below. The series of memos there also documents the project's history.
The first developed portable computer was the Xerox NoteTaker, developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), in 1976. The first mass-produced portable computer was the Osborne 1, in 1981.
The first mechanical copier or Xerox machine was called the Model A. It was introduced by Xerox Corporation in 1949.
Xerox Palo Alto
In 1963, Xerox introduced the Xerox 813, the first desktop plain-paper copier, bringing Carlson's vision of a copier that could fit on anyone's office desk into a reality.
i don't know who invented it in 1987 but i do who invented it in 1976.i got this from laptops arena so credit goes to them. Xerox PARC developed the first portable computer prototype called Xerox NoteTaker. It never reached mass production but it was the inspiration source for the first commercially available notebook. Xerox NoteTaker was designed by Alan Key, Adele Goldberg, Douglas Fairbairn, and Larry Tesler. It featured a built-in monochrome display monitor, 128K 8-bit memory, 1MHz processing speed, a floppy disk drive, foldable keyboard and a mouse, using the Smalltalk operating system. The weight was of 22 Kg and the production costs were incredibly high, reaching $50,000, at the time of introduction.
The color photo copier was introduced in 1959 by Xerox. The company was leading the market but was overtaken by Japanese brands like Kyocera, Panasonic, Canon, Minolta, Ricoh and many others. Xerox is now teamed up with Fuji Films which created a new company called Fuji Xerox.

Nathan has no clue what he is talking about or does he know how to spell. Taken from Laptops arena "The history of the laptop sends us back in April 1976, when Xerox PARC developed the first portable computer prototype called Xerox NoteTaker. It never reached mass production but it was the inspiration source for the first commercially available notebook. Xerox NoteTaker was designed by Alan Key, Adele Goldberg, Douglas Fairbairn, and Larry Tesler. It featured a built-in monochrome display monitor, 128K 8-bit memory, 1MHz processing speed, a floppy disk drive, foldable keyboard and a mouse, using the Smalltalk operating system. The weight was of 22 Kg and the production costs were incredibly high, reaching $50,000, at the time of introduction."
Xerox introduced its first color laser printer in 1994 with the Xerox Phaser 4500. This was a significant milestone in the company's history, as it brought color laser printing technology to the business and professional markets. The Phaser 4500 was aimed at mid-to-high-volume users and was one of the first color laser printers to offer the combination of high-quality color output with the reliability and speed associated with laser printers. Xerox's development of color laser printing technology, however, can be traced back to its earlier work on monochrome laser printers. The company was already a pioneer in laser printing, having introduced the Xerox 9700 in 1977, one of the first high-speed laser printers. Over the next few decades, Xerox invested heavily in advancing printing technologies, eventually achieving color laser printing by the mid-1990s. By the early 2000s, Xerox continued to expand its portfolio with more advanced color laser printers, adding models like the Phaser 8400 (introduced in 2001), which offered improved quality and performance for businesses looking for high-volume, color printing solutions. So, the key moment when Xerox introduced its first color laser printer was 1994, with the Xerox Phaser 4500.
Xerox mainly produce photocopiers, however they also produce a range of multifunction printers and software. They introduced the first desk top printer; followed ten years later by a colour enabled printer.
Xerox does not mean photo copy, although some people use it as if it did mean that. "Xerox is a short form of the name of the company, Xerox Corporation, and a registered trademark owned by that company. Photocopy is a noun and means a copy of an original made through the use of a photographic process. The word photocopy can also be a verb meaning to make such a copy. Xerox Corporation is widely known as the company that introduced the first highly successful machines that made photocopies using dry ink and plain paper.
They rented a new Xerox machine from Xerox Corporation.
