Apricot Portable
Apricot Portable was Apricot Computers' attempt at a portable computer, first released in 1984. It had a 3.5" floppy Drive, 4.77MHz CPU and 256KB RAM. It was the first computer to use an 80-column/25-line LCD display and speech recognition for input/output. The speech recognition software held 4096 words, with only 64 available at a given time, according to www.oldcomputers.com. It was also unique in the way that it had a infrared link between it and the keyboard. This was relatively new at the time. However, if an object blocked the infrared beam, communications would be cut off, of course. The Apricot also featured a somewhat Mac-like graphical interface. It was originally priced at £1965.
