Linus Technologies had the write-top in 1987, and the GRiDPad came out in 1989.

Dang, I actually would like a Write-Top, and this technology at that point is impressive to me:

Using an advanced symbol-recognition algorithm, the Linus ("of or about lines") can convert your scrawls into perfect text at a rate of about 5 characters per second. It recognizes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

I'm sure modern tablets can do that even better but I haven't used one I really like the feeling of while writing.

*EDIT: Weight: 9lbs / 4 kg I change my mind, modern tablets are where it's at
