An IBM PC portable. Yes, PC. 4.77MHz, 256k RAM, two floppy drives. Built-in a maybe 8" green CRT screen, and the keyboard could be used as cover for the screen and disk drives.
In theory, this thing was portable. If you were a body builder. The case was steel, and the whole beast was about 15 to 20 kilograms.
There was a time when that thing was state of the art. Wasn't a long time, but it existed.
I have to admit that the job was at a time when it was state of the art.
The Osborne? A fantastic machine for the time...
No, not an Osborne. A real IBM Portable.
Woah, cool. Didn't know there was a first party portable.
