I would have said Apple, with the LCD screen that went on the Apple 2 C.
But I think that was after 1982.

Who (by company, that is) invented the first
"clamshell" laptop? I am
tempted to believe it is either GRiD or Zenith Data Systems that introduced
this style, but if I had to, I'd lay my money on GRiD.
Take the money and run.
GRiD Compass: 1982 (Sometime in the fall)
Sharp PC-5000: 1983 (March)
Gavilan: 1983 (March or April)
TRS-80 m100: 1983
TRS-80 m200: 1985?
I don't know what Zenith's first clamshell was, but I'm pretty sure it was
much later on.
