As far as I know, Toshiba invented the notebook computer in the 80s, and (in my theory) a pinnacle of Japanese miniaturization in its time - it would be sad for Toshiba (as the inventor) to leave this market, just like IBM (the inventor of the hard disk drive) selling off the Hard Disk Drive operations to Hitachi (HGST).

The Toshiba T1100 was released in 85

The Compaq portable released around 82 was the first Dos based portable to my knowledge
but you could not call it a laptop
it was more of a suit case with a end that opened up
