Sharp PC-5000

Sharp · 1983

One of the first laptop-shaped computers of any kind: a 1983 clamshell with a bubble memory cartridge instead of a disc drive and a thermal printer that clipped on the back. Not PC compatible in any useful sense despite the 8088. Bubble memory alone makes it a significant curiosity.
