Tandy Model 100, the first 'notebook' computer, in 1983. 8k of ram, no hard drive, no floppy, had dosshell for 'operating system'. Programs were written, by me, in basic.
I believe it used 4 double a batteries, and/or an ac adapter. Had 300bps internal modem, with which I hooked up to compu$erve at $6. an hour.
Cost $900....

whoa! great question! very nostalgic...
I also had a TI99 4/A but my mom wouldn't buy me the cassette drive, so everything I programmed in BASIC was lost when I turned it off :(
the first "real" computer I had was a TRS-80 4P.
By "portable" it meant built in screen. the thing weighed 40 pounds and still had to be plugged in.

A Packard Bell.
210 MB Hard Drive
8 MB RAM, which I doubled before it left the store.
2400 Modem, switched out to a 14.4 before it left the store.
yeah...it was a piece of crap. :) But very stable. Windows 3.11: Windows for Workgroups and MS-DOS 6.2.
