Growing up I was given a Unisys laptop as my first PC. It was a great machine, but sadly discarded as it became obsolete. I would love to try and identify the model and locate one, but I have no idea what model it was and can't find anything online that looks anything like it.
I was wondering if someone here may have knowledge these and can help me identify it from these details:
I can't really find any information about Unisys laptops of that era online, so I am wondering if it was just rebranded Unisys for the German market at that time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

I was wondering if someone here may have knowledge these and can help me identify it from these details:
- Unisys branded.
- Purchased in Germany sometime around 1992 - 1993.
- 486 processor (DX I think), 4 MB RAM, which was later upgraded to 8 MB.
- It came with Windows for Workgroups 3.1 but I was able to upgrade it to Windows 95 when it was released (after a RAM upgrade).
- It was medium grey in colour.
- It had a completely rubberised wrist pad, which became slightly floppy / loose over time, especially when it was hot.
- It had a black track ball, smaller than the size of a typical marble. Left click was a larger banana shaped button above track ball and right click was a smaller rectangular button below the ball, on the edge of the unit. The buttons were underneath the rubberised sheet that covered the wristpad.
- I believe it had a 640x480 display (maybe 800x600), not TFT, probably around 10 - 11 inches. I think there were brightness / contrast buttons on the screen bezel.
- It had a centrally positioned latch lid whch protruded from the top of the screen when open.
I can't really find any information about Unisys laptops of that era online, so I am wondering if it was just rebranded Unisys for the German market at that time.
Any ideas?
