My earliest computer was around 1986. I was really young so I never noticed what kind it was. It's main purpose was DOS games run off of a 5" floppy disk. My dad also got one of the earlier laptops, which was by no means meant to sit on your lap. It had a long, thin screen and wasn't foldable. It was about as portable as a bowling ball.
