The Atari Portfolio - world‘s first handheld/palmtop/pocket "PC". The Portfolio is almost the exact same size as a VHS VCR tape. It is not, of course, the first pocket-sized computer. Radio Shack released its pocket-sized computer, the TRS-80 PC-1, over 9 years earlier, in 1980. The difference is, that the TRS-80 PC-1 is programmable only in BASIC, while the Portfolio is an MS-DOS compatible computer.

Also, 5 years before the Portfolio, Hewlett-Packard released the HP-110, their own portable MS-DOS computer, but it cost $3000 and is much larger and heavier.
