History of Laptops

Quite difficult to say what was the first portable computer of laptop. The first laptop did not look like today’s laptops, but defnitely, they were portable and lapable and through the years developed to become today’s sleek notebooks. The first laptop could have been designed in 1979 by a Briton, William Moggridge, for Grid Systems Corporation. The Grid Compass was about 1/5th the weight of any model equivalent, and had a 340K byte bubble memory. It had a die-cast magnesium case and folding electroluminescent graphics display screen. It was used by NASA on the space shuttle program in the early 1980’s.
