Subnotebooks were designed with portability in mind, and sometimes came with compromises...but this Toshiba from 1997 took things to a whole new level.

Whoa, cool. A few months ago I found a Libretto 70CT (with floppy and Win98) in the local antique market and picked it up for less than $100. The battery still holds a charge! Now I just need to repair the floppy. Maybe just needs some grease or something.
