Toshiba's newest innovation, Libretto W100, is a cross breed between a traditional laptop and a tablet PC that has two multi-touch LCD screens. One screen is primarily for display and one serves as a virtual keyboard since the 7in, 1.5lbs machine doesn't have a physical keyboard. The dual screen design can also function as a touch screen tablet PC, pretty neat! So I guess, Apple's iPad now has a worthy competitor. The Libretto W100 runs on Windows 7, so it pretty much could do what other laptops/netbooks could do. You can extend displays between two screens, so its so much easier when surfing the internet, or even reading e-books.
In my opinion. the dual screen design somewhat resembles what Nintendo did to their Nintendo DS. And I commend Toshiba's idea on implementing this design on a Windows 7 device. The Libretto also offers 6 clever virtual keyboard modes to choose from, which proves that the Libretto is designed to cater to the user's accessability and full control of the device. Toshiba was able to combine mobility, user-friendliness, large screen display, speed without sacrificing basic computer functionalities since it's running on Windows 7.
The technical specifications are as follows:
- Intel Pentium U5400 (1.2 Ghz)
- 2GB DDR3 RAM
- 62GB Solid State Drive
- 802.11 b/g/n
- 802.16e-2005 WiMax
- 1 megapixel Web Camera
- Bluetooth 2.1
- MicroSD card slot
- USB 2.0 port
- Internal Mic
- Stereo Earphone jack
- Dual 7.0 inch multi-touch displays
- 6-mode virtual keyboard
- Weight: 1.55 lbs
- Battery Life: Approx. 2 hours
By compacting all these features into one ravishing device, we'll be expecting the price of the Libretto W100 way higher than the Apple iPad. It's more of a PC than a multimedia device. You can do a lot more with the Libretto than the iPad. So expect the price to be on par with market Tablet PCs.
WoW-Pow has made a video review of the Toshiba Libretto W100.
