Introduced in 1983, just over a year after the modern desktop PC, the M10 is the first Olivetti laptop.

Innovative in form, it was received with great interest especially for the design of Perry A. King and Antonio Macchi Cassia, who managed to combine a normal-sized keyboard with an adjustable liquid crystal display. Furthermore, the possibility of connecting the M10 to various peripherals, from the telephone to the printer, was amazed: for the first time the image of the travel office took shape, totally new to the Italian business world.
