Slightly off-topic, but the only time I've ever used Windows 3.1 (beyond the odd virtualization experiment every once in a while) was on a laptop with a passive-matrix monochrome LCD, so seeing this OS in color always feels a bit wrong to me.

I think it was a Compaq LTE Lite, likely an early model. It was a relative's device (he's working in the insurance industry) and I was only toying around with it in the late '90s, when it was already obsolete.

Researching this laptop, I found a hilarious contemporary ad that is very full of itself and pulls no punches against the competitors:

These were very expensive, like all laptops at the time, so it's no surprise it's shown being used by executives. I'm impressed by how many now common features it already had. I think they aren't showing the cheapest variant with the passive-matrix display in this video, which looked very dim and unpleasant.

I could swear I have seen it on some other device as well, many years later, but I don't remember what it was.
