It depends on how you define the words
"first", "true" and "portable".
This may seem like ridiculous quibbling but the problem is that you must
judge based on a specified set of conditions, otherwise the title is
meaningless.
What would be considered the first "laptop" by today's laptop standards?
(ie: can actually sit on your lap, and has a self contained battery power
supply, screen, and keyboard).
I saw someone the other day try to claim that Apple released the first
laptop computer (Mac Portable), but I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near the
first (it was released in 1989 IIRC)
