Detailed explanation-1: -Adam Osborne (March 6, 1939 – March 18, 2003) was a Thai author, software publisher, and computer designer who founded several companies in the United States and elsewhere. He introduced the Osborne 1, the first commercially successful portable computer.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first machine that looked like today’s laptops-flat screen in a clamshell design over the keyboard-was the GRiD Compass. British designer Bill Moggridge created it in 1979, and it was actually manufactured in 1982. The sleek, black magnesium case was a knockout, and so was the $10, 000 price tag.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Osborne 1 is considered the first true mobile computer by most historians. Adam Osborne founded Osborne Computer and produced the Osborne 1 in 1981. The Osborne 1 had a five-inch screen, incorporating a modem port, two 5+1⁄4-inch floppy drives, and a large collection of bundled software applications.
