Librascope/General Precision claimed that their LGP-30/LGP-21 computers
were portable. The '21 weighs 60? lbs. 1963.

Berry's ABC almost-a-computer was built onto a cart. Unfortunately the
cart was wider than the door to the room it was built in, so portability
was merely theoretical. 1948 or before.
