AT&T Safari 3181
From Higher Intellect Vintage Wiki
Description
The AT&T Safari 3181 was a re-badged version of the NEC Versa 50E - a 50MHz intel 80486 based convertible laptop computer. It differed from the Versa in that it had a light gray screen bezel, light gray keyboard bezel, and foam green buttons and sliders vs. NEC's mostly dark gray chassis with blue accents. It was likely the first model branded AT&T instead of NCR as AT&T bought out NCR in 1993, right as the previous NCR Safari 3180 was released.
