We had an amstrad XT for our first computer.

My 1st PC was a Panasonic Portable with a built in keyboard, 9" monochromatic green screen, thermal printer & dual 5" floppy drives.

The first graphical game I played was Flight Simulator, using a 512Kb RAM and 2 floppy disks PC, with I think a Hercules monographics card. The monitor did shades of green. It was great.

We didn't call them laptops, they were "portable computers" Except at ~20-25 pounds and up, they were more "luggable" than portable, and that was the name they inherited. Lord that brings back memories.
The 1 I had weighed between 35-50 lbs, so you would have to set it up on a sturdy flat surface to use it effectively. Broken legs aren't worth playing Dig-dug on the go.
Yes, it was portable, but it was heavy & you had to treat it gently or it would be effectively toast. The version I had didn't have a hard drive, but used a pair of 5" floppy disks at the same time. God help you if you were holding 1 of them & either went close enough to something magnetic or accidentally built up enough static electricity to give the disk a slight shock.
