Osborne 1

The Osborne 1, released in 1981, holds a special place in computing history as one of the first commercially successful portable computers. Though bulky by today's standards, its 'portability' (weighing around 24 pounds) was revolutionary. It came bundled with software worth more than the machine itself, a key selling point. People fondly remember its distinctive, almost sewing-machine-like design and the integrated screen. It represented a significant step towards accessible personal computing, allowing users to work and compute in various locations, impacting the way businesses and individuals approached technology.
