👉 Meyer Computing was a pioneering British computer company founded in 1982 by John Meyer, known for developing innovative and user-friendly personal computers. The company gained prominence with its iconic AQUOS series, particularly the AQUOS PC-1000, which was one of the first mass-produced laptops with a built-in keyboard and a graphical user interface (GUI) that was accessible to non-technical users. Meyer Computing also produced the AQUOS PEMMA series, which included the PEMMA 1000, a highly affordable and compact computer that became popular in educational settings. The company was notable for its focus on simplicity, affordability, and ease of use, making personal computing more accessible to a broader audience during the early to mid-1990s. However, Meyer Computing faced financial difficulties and was eventually acquired by Lenovo in 2004, marking the end of its independent existence.
