The Osborne 1, which was released in 1981, is widely considered to be the first portable computer. It had a small built-in monitor and floppy disk drive, and could run a variety of software programs. While it was not as powerful or versatile as later portable computers, it set the standard for what a truly portable computer could be. The IBM PC and Apple Macintosh were both released in the early 1980s, but were not portable. Intel is a company that produces microprocessors and other computer components, and was not a portable computer itself.
