Your description reminded me of this:

Its missing any kind of fold-down keyboard, but it more-or-less matches 
what you describe. There's a standard BBC Micro with all the gubbins 
inside, and connectors at the back:

The label at the back doesn't match "Zicon" but there could be some 
rebranding afoot.

The two pics above were snapped by a friend of mine exploring Pyestock.
