	This laptop has most capabilities as the 110CT model with the only drawback of a much worse internal LCD screen.		This laptop has most capabilities as the 110CT model with the only drawback of a much worse internal LCD screen.

			== Benchmarks ==
			Results are similar to Toshiba Satellite 110CT model as only the screen is different and this does not affect performance.

			== Durability and Repair-ability ==
			The durability of this laptop is average. The chassis plastic can crack sometimes, although the laptop is well built and also has reasonably durable internal circuitry. Typical shortcomings are on the Accupoint system cap that degrades and disintegrates with age, as well as the trackpoint buttons rubberized coating. Fortunately, the rubberized coating can be completely removed by scrubbing with iso-propyl alcohol leaving the buttons quite comfortable eve in this state.

			The laptop's screen is easy to service, meaning that LCD backlight lamp removal and replacement is quite easy. This is possible due to the generous and forgiving lamp mounting space which means that repairs are quite easy to carry out with moderate patience and care. This is actually one of the easiest repairs of this type that can be done for beginner users, keeping in mind the usual care of dismounting and unclipping. Thus, replacing an old or damaged LCD fluorescent lamp is quite simple as it requires only disassembly of the display's case and removal of some screws and a top plate.

			Overall, despite the poor reliability of Toshiba harddrives, the configuration itself seems very well designed, meaning that laptops have quite a long life and the system itself survives quite well due to low internal heat dissipation in a roomy case.

			== Best retro purpose ==
			Early Windows 95 era gaming released before 1997 or as office computer. While the video chipset is reasonably fast, the highlight of this laptop is the ESS 688 audio chip, a model with a very good SoundBlaster emulation capability along with good MIDI capability. All these features are available out of the box, with no configuration. The video chipset is well compatible with MS-DOS and Windows 95 games, offering well rounded performance. The only slight drawback is due to the CPU speed, making the laptop suited for most classic DOS games, including Quake, avoiding any resolution that is higher than 400x300 resolutions if 3D acceleration is required. 2D games run perfect in 640x480 resolutions.

			This laptop has most capabilities as the 110CT model with the only drawback of a much worse internal LCD screen.
