Bad ass 80s Laptops
Enormous briefcases with tiny screens. 64k used to weigh 64 pounds! Check out this 80s Laptops. Released in 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation, the Osborne 1 is considered to be the first true portable computer. Check out the Digi-log. That 80’s digi-log modem (dataphone?) reminds me of the one on War Games. Pretty kick ass!

The Osbourne Micro Ace, Commodore Pet, TRS-80 Model I Level I — these all predated the colorful toys like the Atari 400/800, Timex/Sinclair, Commodore 64, TRS-80 Color Computer, TI 99/4A.
