Toshiba T4900CT
The Toshiba T4900CT is a Pentium-based laptop that was announced around October 1994, and stated to ship in late November of the same year. I believe that this was Toshiba's first Pentium laptop. It cost $7,499 on launch, and was one of the first laptops, if not the first to ship with a low-voltage 3.3V Pentium chip, designed for use in low-power devices, such as laptops.

Common Faults & Maintenance
CMOS/Hibernation Battery Leaks
The T4900CT has an internal NiMH hibernation battery. These batteries are highly prone to leaking, and should be removed on any T4900CT.
Capacitor Failure
I've seen some reports that the capacitors in the internal power supply section of this laptop are prone to failing. Many other Toshiba laptops used ELNA brand caps, which are highly prone to leaking, so you may want to check on that even if yours are working.
