For context, here is a laptop from the time: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Toshiba_T1100" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Toshiba_T1100</a><p>4.77 mhx 8088, 640x200 monochrome display. MS-DOS 2.11. 4 kilograms. $1899.<p>That&#x27;s a bit more than $4k after adjusting for inflation.<p>Looks like a pretty expensive toy to me. I sure wouldn&#x27;t take it fishing either. What use would it even have?
