World's first mass-market
#laptop was the
#T1100 computer by
#Toshiba. Introduced with a 4.77MHz
#CPU, 512KB of
#RAM,
#monochrome #LCD display, and battery capacity up to 7 hours, it changed the world of
#IBM compatible portable computers. It even worked with
#MS #Windows1 in 640x200px
#CGA #graphics, but only within a narrow view angle

Even without a hard disk this machine was very important, since the plus model was re-engineered in
#USSR as Электроника
#МС1504. Unlike
#US, users in
#Russia didn't pay royalties, or used the internal 3.5" floppy drive to boot
#MS-DOS 2.11
