Grid Compass (jan 2, 1982 – jan 2, 1982)
Description:
The Grid Compass was released in 1982, and the design of opening and closing the device like a notebook set a standard for modern laptops. The machine featured an Intel 8086 processor with a 320×240 display and weighed around 5 kg. Although it was thick and ugly looking, it was ridiculously overpriced at $8,000 and was sold in a quantity rarely used by the US government.Added to timeline:
