The history section has an extensive discussion about "portable" computers. Laptops are portable but portable computers may or may not be laptops. (Ya know; square/rectangle). The history section also fails to distinguish what at the time was an important difference between calculators (some of which were quite large) and general purpose computers. At the time of the first laptops, there was a vibrant market in calculators with sophisticated (for their time) programming abilities. I come away from that section with a lot of mostly irrelevant information about luggables and without ANY idea what/when the first laptop was ( marketed). Laptops, if I were to define them, would be comfortable in use on a person's lap, not necessarily have more (physically) than a keyboard mechanically/structurally connected screen (but possibly transported as 2 separate pieces) of approximately equal area, but wouldn't necessarily be battery operated. If it used a GUI an appropriate input device (mouse, wand, touch-pads, roller balls) would be available. (Internally, it would have to have a bootable OS, and sufficient internal storage for a reasonable number of files (as opposed to a remote console). So, WHEN was the first laptop marketed? Where? By whom?174.131.60.136 (talk) 15:07, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Do we really need so many pictures of laptops? I'd say maybe two current and two vintage models would suffice but 15 is a little excessive, don't you think? And that's just the ones primarily showing laptops. MightyArms (talk) 12:26, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

The description of the first picture says the first laptop (going around clockwise from the left) is a 2020 MacBook Air model. The description must be changed to 2021 MacBook Pro model to match the image. Razmik Vardanyan (talk) 00:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Is the Surface (in the article) a Laptop? If so, is the iPad a laptop? As soon as you attach a keyboard cover, what differentiate a Surface (I'm not talking about the Surface Book here) from an iPad? (And no, the kippstand doesn't make it a Laptop for me. Try to work "on your lap" with that thing.) Alien4 (talk) 15:23, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Simply put, Toshiba has brought back the UMPC (ultra mobile PC) concept with two multi-touch 7-inch displays. This pup, coming on the 25th anniversary of Toshiba's entry to the laptop market, has some interesting features and generated some initial buzz. Toshiba bills calls the device the Libretto W100 and says it ”goes beyond slates, netbooks and smartphones to deliver something more.”

The fact comes from the following source:

: https://www.zdnet.com/article/toshibas-libretto-w100-interesting-concept-but-questions-abound/

Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:

Additional comments from user: The libretto, was one of the first dual screen laptops alongside the acer iconia. Testing the add a fact extension.
