Hardware Description

This was the world's first 16-bit laptop PC with a built-in hard disk, marketed by Toshiba in 1986 for the overseas market. Prior to the 3100, Toshiba had marketed a series of portable/laptop personal computers in Europe and the U.S. (the T-1100, T-1500, T-1100PLUS and T-2100), and this, coupled with the technical sophistication of Toshiba's machines, earned Toshiba the name "King of Laptops".
