-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 full quality keyboard, bright sharp screen, and a fast processor to do complex tasks such as working with spreadsheets and databases. As a testament to the build quality, ​the majority of the computers survive to this day. +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 ​(for the time) 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 computers ​have stood the test of time and survive to this day.

A website for these systems, sharing community ​information, technical data, utilities and documentation for everyone ​to peruse. I firmly believe that the T-series portables have earned their place among the likes of Osborne 1, IBM PS/2 P70, Hyperion and Compaq Portables, and form one of the milestones of portable ​computing history.
