GRiD made the product with a fold down display that covered the keyboard. GRiD started manufacturing in 1979 with commercial distribution occurring in 1981.
GRiD's computer was five times lighter than any other computer used at that time. NASA used the laptop when it performed its shuttle program back in 1980s.
