Vintage Toshiba Tecra 550cdt Laptop

About this deal

The Toshiba Tecra 550CDT is a Pentium-based laptop released in January 1998. It runs an Intel Pentium 266MHz processor with MMX technology and features a 12.1-inch TFT active matrix colour display at 1024 x 768 resolution. The machine includes a built-in 16-bit stereo sound system and integrated PC Card slots, serial, parallel, USB and infrared ports. This listing is sold for parts or not working, making it suited to vintage computing enthusiasts or collectors seeking components. The CMOS and reserve batteries in Toshiba laptops of this era are NiMH Varta batteries, which are highly prone to leaking and should be removed to prevent further damage. The Tecra range was well regarded for its quality-to-price ratio, though these machines used a trackpoint pointing device rather than a touchpad.
