This could have been the handiest computer available for the photo shoot, but unless they had a paid endorsement from the company to specifically feature their goods, most likely you will see the brand name covered up. Sometimes you see this at sports events where the "hat" wearers are lurking in the background hoping to get the name seen, but it is smeared out. Makes you wonder though, about ads where there is a fleeting glimpse of a Mac....I recently saw a researcher on a documentary program (that was not shot in the 1980's but recent) and she was using what looked to be an SE or ColorClassic or something!!
