HISTORY AND SPEC:
The 5000 series saw it’s light around five years after the first TravelMate was released, around mid 1995, just coinciding the release of Windows 95.
Powered by the classic P54C line of Pentium processors between 75 and 120 Mhz, it sported hard drives between 500 MiB and 1.2 GiB, and a mere 8 MiB of RAM in all standard configurations. While the lower-end 5000 models came with passive matrix displays, the 5100 and 5200 models where equipped with active matrix displays. The active matrix display offers a crisp image with 800×600 @ 16-bit colors resolution. However, anything below that resolutions looks distorted and unsharp as the picture will be extrapolated to 800×600. This is especially visible on the Windows boot screen, and DOS games running at low resolution.
While official designed for Windows 95, the 5000 series still lacked the Windows logo and menu keys.
The optional DockMate Multimedia docking station provided everything needed to make the TravelMate also a fully capable near desktop equivalent computer: Ample of connectors, two separate charging slots for batteries, a PCI expansion slot plus built-in speakers and a CD-ROM drive.
