LikesOldMacsA very inelegant SC2K experience in Windows 95, but this Toshiba Tecra 510CDT is a total beast. It's from 1996 (early PB1400 would be a good comparison) and has so many ports, lights, buttons, and latches ๐
Oh, and it just works
Another night with the Toshiba, and a growing city ๐๏ธ๐
It's no Macintosh, but I wish the Mac laptops of the era had this build quality. The screen, the hinge, and the keyboard scream $4,999 laptop!

Another evening with the Toshiba - on my second city. Gotta say, this laptop has been bulletproof - I know it's only SC2K, but no freezes or hardware issues, and I haven't taken it apart at all.
The cord fell out of the back when I was moving it around, and the battery gave it enough time to panic plug it back in! And it keeps time between uses.

If I can help it I usually back up everything but its usually backed up to the cloud.

Matt Bernhard@likesoldmacs am I crazy or is that a really bright and colorful screen for a 30-year-old laptop? Is it a replacement?
@mbernhard original screen! It shocks me every time how bright and crisp it is
voipmeister@likesoldmacs @mbernhard These laptops have very good displays! Unfortunately my latest purchase (a 520CDT, P166MMX) suffered from bad packaging :((
Works great with an external monitor though and still holds a 1.5 hour charge after 26 years!
