I have 2 very old laptops they are Toshiba Satellite PRO's 445cdx.
They are both in great cosmetic condition, no major flaws worth noting. Looks like they were taken wonderful care of. ONE of the machines is missing a small port cover.

Both have 12" screens, cd rom drives, and batteries installed.

Specs based on google search for identical model:

133mhz processor
16mb ram
1.4g hard drive

Just to be safe here, I will be selling these "as is" since I am unable to test any software on them. They both booted into dos fine, and both are in excellent cosmetic condition so it looks like they were well taken care of.

Lot Number 1: $50 plus shipping
One of the laptops
One ac adapter
One detachable floppy drive


Lot Number 2: $85 plus shipping
BOTH laptops
BOTH floppies
The ac adapter

I just wanted to pop in and say those are pretty big drives for that era, I think - a Presario 1245 has about a 2GB drive, yet its other specs are much higher (300 MHz processor for instance). Color or B&W screen?

You should check the batteries and get 'em recycled at your local Staples if they don't hold a charge, which I'm certain they won't. That'll save a lot on S&H and you'll be SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT! :P

Man, those laptops would rock as DOS machines! I have an IBM Thinkpad 760E and my goodness, its great for DOS classics!

This is a great machien for those interested in setting it up and play games like Hugo (trilogy) and Commander Keen.

I have no idea if they are color screens, when I searched on google identical models had color screens. The only reason I can't tell is because I have no way of getting past the dos prompt/no other software to use.

Try going into the bios screen. It should show some color then.
