@squirrel I have a couple of X6* thinkpads as well and I looooove the keyboards on them but..... the toshiba sounds even better

@tom its very chunky

sadly the rest of the laptop feels flimsier than the thinkpad

also its very heavy

it has an internal psu !!! you don't use a brick you just, ,,,,, literally plug a power cord right onto the back

@squirrel okay but the internal psu thing is weird enough to make it a device worth having again tbh

@tom it's super worth having even despite that

its got opl3 so its a perfect adlib tracker machine

@squirrel oh that's sick! I'm still on the lookout for a good DOS/Early Windows-Era (Sub)notebook that won't cost me an arm and a leg...

@tom toshiba satellites might just be that!! idk how availability is for you there on them

this one i got for free as a birthday gift from a friend who knew im into old computers

@tom it needed some tlc

it had 2 leaked internal batteries (cmos, not sure what the second one was for) and the hard drive was seized

ripped the batteries out (still works just doesn't save bios) and replaced the hdd with a cf card and it works wonderfully

@squirrel yeah that's honestly what I'd expect from a computer that old
