I seem to recall a Franklin with a flip down keyboard like that. -
Kaypro's the other luggable I remember from the early-ish days (FWIW).
IBM, if memory serves, had a luggable -- maybe a PS/1?
EDIT: nurp* -- apparently it was a PS/2
(i.e., rather more modern)
The cool professors in our department
invested in early luggables as they became available. We were still runnin' S-100 bus "PCs" and Heathkit H-89s in my lab (and some even odder things, thanks to some sort of agreement JHU had with DEC in those long-ago times)**.

* this is a neologism constructed from nope and derp, in case that's not obvious
** actually, my thesis advisor was a very cool professor He had somewhat non-mainstream tastes in 'putes, though -- so we had quite an array of 'em; some pretty out there for the early/mid-80s.
