IBM 5110 and Omnibot 2000 robot
IBM 5110 and Omnibot 2000 robot, holding a packet of crisps, on display at the Computer History Museum, USA. The IBM (International Business Machines) 5110 was released in 1975 for $14, 000. It was marketed as a portable computer, and weighed 23 kilograms. The Tomy Omnibot 2000 was released in the early 1980s as a programmable toy robot. The museums collection includes over 3000 artefacts from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996, the museum preserves and returns to working order, computers that have had a significant historical impact. The museum is due to be relocated, becoming part of the NASA Research Park, California, USA, in 2005

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the iconic IBM 5110 and Omnibot 2000 robot on display at the Computer History Museum in the United States. The image captures these technological marvels, with the IBM 5110 portable computer standing tall beside the Omnibot 2000, both holding a packet of crisps. Released in 1975 for a staggering $14,000, the IBM 5110 was marketed as a portable computer despite its hefty weight of 23 kilograms. Its presence alongside the Tomy Omnibot 2000 adds an intriguing contrast to this snapshot of computing history. The Omnibot, introduced in the early 1980s as a programmable toy robot, represents how technology evolved over time. The Computer History Museum boasts an impressive collection of over 3,000 artifacts spanning from 1945 to1990. Established in1996 with a mission to preserve and restore computers that have made significant historical impacts, it serves as an invaluable resource for science education and computing history enthusiasts alike. Originally located in California's Silicon Valley, this renowned museum has since been relocated to become part of NASA Research Park. However, this particular photograph was taken before its move took place back in2005. With its blend of American innovation and cutting-edge technology showcased within this image's frame—complete with crisp packaging—the print by Science Photo Library offers viewers a glimpse into our fascinating computing past.
