The Epson HX-20 (also known as the HC-20) was the first “true” laptop computer. It was invented in July 1980 by Yukio Yokozawa, who worked for Suwa Seikosha, a branch of Japanese company Seiko (now Seiko Epson), receiving a patent for the invention.

Not sure I’ve ever seen one! And not IRL! Had no idea such a thing was on the market when I was 9.
