The Toshiba T1100 is a laptop manufactured by Toshiba in 1985, and has subsequently been described by Toshiba as "the world's first mass-market laptop computer". Its technical specifications were comparable to the original IBM PC desktop, using floppy disks (it had no hard drive), a 4.77 MHz Intel 80C88 CPU (a lower-power variation of the Intel 8088), 256 KB of conventional RAM extendable to 512 KB, and a monochrome LCD capable of displaying 80x25 text and 640x200 CGA graphics.{{cite web|title=Toshiba's flyer for the T1100|url=http://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Toshiba/Other/Toshiba%20T1100%20-%20Flyer.pdf|accessdate=18 December 2016}} Its original price was {{USD|1899|1985|round=-1}}.

The T1100 PLUS is a later model of this laptop, released to the market in 1986.{{cite journal|last1=Stachell|first1=Stephen|title=Toshiba T1100 Plus: Turbo PC in Briefcase|journal=InfoWorld Magazine|date=Sep 15, 1986|page= 46|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aS8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA46|accessdate=17 December 2016}} Some significant differences to the T1100 are: 16-bit data bus 80C86 CPU, 7.16 MHz or 4.77 MHz operation, 256 KB of conventional RAM (16-bit) extendable to 640 KB, and two internal 720 KB 3.5" diskette drives.{{cite web|title=Toshiba's flyer for the T1100 PLUS|url=http://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Toshiba/Other/Toshiba%20T1100%20PLUS%20-%20Flyer.pdf|accessdate=18 December 2016}}
