Chicony NB5
The Chicony NB5 (also known as the NB5D) is a 486-based laptop that was released in 1994. I don't have all the specs for this one right now, so if you own one, I could use your help. It appears that a version of this laptop was able to have the rear display cover removed to allow for it to be used with an overhead projector.
As a generic/ODM laptop, the NB5 was sold under a variety of names. Below is the current list of brands known to have sold them.
- Acrobat - European brand, maybe Austrian??
- Leading Edge Aviva 2000 (USA)
- Wedge ShowBIZ 586 Presentation (Cyrix 5x86, overhead projector convertable) (USA)
