I think the Panasonic Senior Partner was the first luggable with built-in
printer: intro'd at Comdex in 1983, but there were HP's from the 70's
which were just as (if not more portable) that also had built-in printers.
I don't think anything over 12 lbs or so could reasonable be called a
laptop, though.
I think the WLTC came out in '84 or '85 (not
sure). Mine is date Dec. 24,
'86. I think it runs on a PASCAL-based operating system, with an MS-DOS
emulator.
Say what? Could you elaborate on the Pascal-based OS and DOS emulator?
The UCSD pSystem could be called a Pascal-based OS, but it didn't have a
DOS emulator that I've heard of. Is that what you mean?
