@vwestlife You’re right. There really isn’t much more to say about it, so don’t even bother making a review of it.

@HP100ify What more would you like me to say about it? It’s basically the same thing as the Satellite Pro 410CS I did a video on, except it does not have a CD-ROM drive or built-in sound card, and it’s only a 75 MHz Pentium instead of 90 MHz.

Can you make a review of this laptop?

@FPGT24 Anything involving computers seems to always get the most views from my subscribers.

I remember a friend of mine having a LONG LONG list of programs on his Windows 98 eMachines 533id2. The machine had a 40GB hard drive and it was very shy of being completely full.

I had a laptop almost identical to that, except the model number, and windows stickers etc were on the other side, and it had a very small grill just infront of a few keys on the keyboard which was the beeper.

The 105CS was actually released around 1995.

Can really see that the Video 8 tape is no where near as good as the other cameras on this video but am watching on a 24inch TFT.

$10 is good for that laptop. Its still good for word processing and playing DOS games. Its like a time capsule with all the old programs on it. If they were using Navigator as their main browser then it probably was last used around 99 before IE took over.

Believe it or not, but we used to have this Toshiba laptop untill 2005 for daily use.

My 100CS is still kicking and I have had it for nine years so far. It was my first “modern” computer. Runs win95 and I play Larry Linzell’s Dungeon Crawl on it. Excellent network testing machine! I am a Toshiba fanboy for life Excellent haul!

@Knaeckebrotsaege That would be great!

Cool camera! The picture quality in my opinion looks just as good in 4:3 as it does in full 16:9 so I’d take advantage of using the full 16:9 feature. The laptop appears to be pretty decent, but with no audio card i’d find it to be near useless.

Man, where did you find the Carver receiver?

@Dell0304 i’ve got a bunch of smaller (8-16MB) modules flying around here somewhere from upgrading. i could send one over there if you want to :p

(yes i know that those need those strange proprietary modules)

@NJRoadfan the Satellite series was (and still is) low-end consumer crap.
Satellite Pro and the Tecra series is where it’s at.
those had sound, CD drives and TFT screens in the 486 machines already..

-> T2150CDT
i486DX4 100MHz, up to 80MB RAM (16 or 24MB standard), 500MB-1.2GB HDD, CD drive, TFT screen, soundcard, integrated PSU, ….

the Satellite 105CS here in this video is pretty bare bones compared to the older one above… (which i own.. was my dad’s one.. lotsa memories)

@vwestlife and an additional X means it either has a high res screen (12″ 1024×768 for example) or is otherwise a high-end model.

example: Satellite 4080XCDT
was an early (1997-1999) mobile Pentium II with a 14.1″ XGA TFT, Trident Cyber “3D” graphics card, infrared port, full set of audio ports (line-in, line-out, headphone, microphone), USB ports and other goodies you don’t usually find on laptops that old

@vwestlife I have a 410CDT! But the memory in it is fried…so I can’t use it…..=(

I saw that laptop sitting in the bin ready to go out on the shelf the other day. Certainly stripped down for a circa 97 laptop, by then they had some sort of built in audio available.

@Knaeckebrotsaege MemTest86 tells me it is a 75 MHz Pentium. I believe a “5″ at the end indicated a model that came with more software preinstalled than the “0″ model, but otherwise had the same hardware — i.e. Satellite 105CS vs. the 100CS (both P75), and also the Satellite Pro 415CS vs. the 410CS (both P90). Also the “S” means dual-scan passive matrix LCD, vs. “T” for TFT active matrix LCD, and “D” means a standard CD-ROM drive, as in the Satellite Pro 410CDT. And I guess “C” means Color!

if you want to, i could send you the original floppy images that came with / were on my Satellite 100CS. Was quite suprised but when i first booted it up after i got it, windows started up and asked me if i wanted to write the floppy images to disks for backup. The previous owner didn’t even bother to tick the “don’t show this again” box in all those years lol

BTW: the Satellite 100CS is a Pentium 75, the 105CS should be a P90 and the 110CS a P100..
that’s the only difference between them.
