	Portable computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Portable computer is a computer that is designed to be moved from one place to another (in other words, it is a computer that is portable).
		Early portables were unkindly referred to as "luggables," referring to their great size and weight (owing partly to the need to include a full-blown CRT monitor, as LCD technology was not yet mature).
		Portable computers have been increasing in popularity over the past decade, as they do not restrict the user in terms of mobility as a desktop computer would.

	Laptop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although, some older portable computers, such as the Macintosh Portable and certain Zenith TurbosPort models, were sometimes described as "laptops", their size and weight were too great for this category.
		The computer could be run from batteries, and was equipped with a 320×200-pixel plasma display and 384 kilobyte bubble memory.
		The first Apple Computer machine designed to be used on the go was the 1989 Macintosh Portable (although an LCD screen had been an option for the transportable Apple IIc in 1984).

	Osborne 1 computer
		Released in 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation, the Osborne 1 is considered to be the first true portable computer - it closes-up for protection, and has a carrying handle.
		It probably wasn't the company's fault, since by this time most of the serious computer users were gravitating towards the new IBM PC, which had already been available since 1981.
		In 1983, the Compaq Portable came out - a portable computer similar to the Osborne, except that it was IBM compatible and ran MS-DOS.
