-The Toshiba T-series portable workstations were powerful for their time. The rugged computers were built to be carried around. One of the main design goals of Toshiba was to make the computer a full desktop replacement,​ focusing on expandability,​ adding such features as a high quality full travel keyboard, bright and sharp screen, and a fast processor to do complex tasks such as working with spreadsheets and databases. As a testament to Toshiba'​s high standards for build quality, and a large enthusiast network, a majority of T computers have stood the test of time and survive to this day.+The Toshiba T-series portable workstations were powerful for their time.
