Description from the seller
Portable Vintage AST Ascentia 900N DX4/75 – Windows 95 Functional
I’m selling a vintage AST Ascentia 900N laptop, a true relic of 1990s computing, fully functional and booting Windows 95.
Features:
- Intel DX4/75 MHz
- TFT Active Matrix display
- Windows 95 installed
- Includes original charger
- Vintage software installed (Excel 97, Microsoft Exchange, among others)
- LEDs and power supply functional
The laptop powers on normally and works as shown in the photos.
Aesthetically in very good condition for its age, with normal signs of use.
Important note:
The screen/monitor does not stay raised on its own, needing support or hinge adjustment. Otherwise, the equipment is functional.
There is also a startup/config warning due to the CMOS battery being discharged, a common issue with these old devices.
Ideal for:
- Collectors
- Retro computing
- Display / Exhibition
- 1990s computer nostalgia
- Vintage software and hardware
A rare piece and increasingly hard to find in working condition.
