Micron TransPort Trek
The Micron TransPort Trek is a Pentium MMX-based laptop, I believe released in 1998. Annoyingly, the Wayback machine never saved a capture of the spec page for this model on Micron's site, so the info here comes from a print ad I found, and what I already know about the Green756.
What I do know is that the Trek was a rebadged Alpha-Top Green756 in a black case. As such, the Trek should appear nearly identical to the TransPort VLX, which was based on the Green755, an older version of the Green756. I even believe some VLX laptops were also Green756s. The Trek may have thus simply been a rebranding of the newer VLX models. I haven't seen one up for sale yet, the Trek 2 seems to be much more common.

Common Faults & Maintenance
These laptops suffer from hinge failure caused by poor design and brittle plastic (see the photos below). To negate this, you can remove the hinge covers and see if the hinges have an adjustment nut on them. If they do, adjust it until it's just barely tight enough to hold the display up.
