It has a medium performance CPU, with an average video controller for a 486. The CPU does not release too much heat so active cooling is not necessary. The keyboard has reasonable tactile feedback but it is very far from being the best, with quite a long key travel and a mushy feel. The trackpoint thumb stick feels quite uncomfortable, requiring the use of an external pointing device, an external mouse. The laptop's plastic case is somewhat durable but the internal design is horrendously complex, requiring lots of disassembly to access even the harddrive. | It has a medium performance CPU, with an average video controller for a 486.

Having no floppy drive or any other way of plugging an external CD-ROM or floppy drive meant that the laptop was very poor in terms of flexibility. Although having a floppy drive was somewhat difficult with such a case, the lack of ports on the laptop itself for connecting any external storage, without the docking station, is a very major design flaw. The rechargeable battery can be easily removed or replaced. There were many Toshiba laptops that used the same battery and working with a removed battery does not affect stability or aesthetics. There are two more internal rechargeable NimH batteries inside the laptop that may leak and are somewhat harder to replace (not the typical, compact CR2032 3V button cell). They are used for Bios settings and memory suspension features. | |||
The integrated speaker is way too small for any decent listening, capable of only the standard PC beeper output. No effort was made for integrating a sound card, not entirely unsurprising for a laptop released in 1994, but quite so for a Japanese laptop. | The integrated speaker is way too small for any decent listening, capable of only the standard PC beeper output.
