Toshiba Libretto 70, the smallest Pentium 120MHz DOS gaming laptop ! | Ep 04

🔍 Tiny but Mighty! In 1997, the Toshiba Libretto 70 amazed the world with its Pentium 120MHz power packed into a 1.85lb ultracompact design. But how does it hold up today as a pure MS-DOS gaming machine?

🛫 A TSA Magnet?! This tiny laptop set off airport AI scanners—twice! Could its vintage tech be a modern anomaly? Let’s dive into the retro computing adventure and put the Libretto to the test!

While the libretto's compact size makes it such a lovely device, it also hinders it from being my first choice due to inadequate ergonomics, connectivity, and sturdiness. Don't get me wrong though, you should absolutely get one if you have the chance. To me, it's a collector computer worth having.
I'm giving it an RB score of 3.8
