Vintage laptop - Toshiba Portege 610CT

Description

The Toshiba Portege 610CT is a subnotebook computer released in 1994, known for its ultra-portable design and innovative features like a Pentium 90 processor, a 9.5-inch TFT color screen, and a lithium-ion battery at a time when these were not standard. It also included a TrackPoint pointing device, two PCMCIA slots, and a port replicator for docking capabilities, targeting mobile professionals despite a scaled-down keyboard and the need for an external floppy drive.
