Compal TS30C Series

Compal TS30C Series

The Compal TS30C Series are 486-based generic/ODM laptops that were released in 1995. I've only seen these laptops thusfar in print ads, so the Compal model number is based off of Compal FCC IDs from the time and model numbers listed on battery supplier websites. Probable specific model numbers include TS30C, TS30CS, TS30CT, and TS30CH. The TS30CP5 is a different laptop and uses Pentium processors.

This series shares an identical physical design to the TS30E Series, which used Pentium processors.

As a generic/ODM laptop, the TS30C Series was sold under a variety of names. Below is the current list of brands known to have sold them.
