| dbo:abstract | Der Osborne Executive war das zweite tragbare Computermodell der von Adam Osborne gegründeten Firma aus dem Jahr 1983 und Nachfolger des legendären Osborne 1. Im Vergleich zu seinem Vorgänger verfügte der Executive insbesondere über einen größeren Bildschirm sowie einen auf 128 Kilobyte vergrößerten RAM-Speicher. Er stand insbesondere in Konkurrenz zu tragbaren Computern wie dem Kaypro II, der mit einem 9-Zoll-Bildschirm ausgestattet war und preisgünstig angeboten wurde. Im September 1983 musste Osborne Konkurs anmelden (kam allerdings zunächst wieder aus der Insolvenz und brachte bis 1985 noch zwei Nachfolgemodelle heraus). Daher kam der Executive nur in begrenzter Anzahl auf den Markt. Als möglicher Grund für den Konkurs galt der so genannte „Osborne-Effekt“: Nachfolgemodelle wurden öffentlich angepriesen, lange bevor sie erhältlich waren. Während die Kundschaft bereits auf den besseren „Executive“ wartete, blieb der „Osborne 1“ in den Lagern liegen und die Preise fielen. Mitarbeiter von Osborne verweisen dagegen auf den hohen Konkurrenzdruck durch besser ausgestattete und günstigere Modelle der Hersteller Apple und Kaypro. (de) El Osborne Executive fue el sucesor del comercialmente muy exitoso Osborne 1, ordenador portáble de la empresa Osborne Computer Corporation. El Executive disponía de las mejores características del Osborne 1 con algunos de sus defectos solucionados. El Executive tuvo una vida muy corta, se lanzó con retraso y la empresa Osborne quebró al poco de su lanzamiento. El Osborne Executive, como el Osborne 1, incluía un paquete de software de aplicación. El procesador de textos WordStar, la hoja de cálculo SuperCalc, y los lenguajes de programación CBASIC y MBASIC —estos paquetes de software eran las aplicaciones más vendidas en sus nichos respectivos en esa época— con un valor minorista de más de 2.495 Dólares USA. Las unidades de disco y el monitor de 7 pulgadas CRT de fósforo amarillo eran cubiertos por el teclado cuándo se ubicaba la tapa encima para el transporte. Igual que el Osborne 1, el Executive se podría mantener con el teclado en un ángulo de visionado adecuado. A diferencia del Osborne 1, el Executive incluía un ventilador de refrigeración junto a un pequeño filtro de aire. (es) The Osborne Executive is the successor of the already commercially successful Osborne 1 portable computer by Osborne Computer Corporation. The Executive consists of a collection of the good features from the Osborne 1 and fixes some of its predecessor's perceived flaws. The Osborne Executive, like the Osborne 1, comes with application software. The WordStar word processor, SuperCalc spreadsheet, and the CBASIC and MBASIC programming languages—all software packages that were the leading applications in their respective niches at the time—had a retail value of more than US$2,495. The disk drives and built-in 7-inch amber CRT are covered by the keyboard when snapped on to the main case for transportation. Like the Osborne 1, the Executive can be supported by the keyboard at a convenient viewing angle. The Executive includes a cooling fan, unlike the Osborne 1, and a tiny air filter for it.

Lançado em 1983, o Executive conservava as boas características de seu antecessor e corrigia várias falhas do mesmo. Todavia, a produção do Executive foi prejudicada pela concordata preventiva pedida pela Osborne, pouco depois do seu lançamento. (pt) |
