Toshiba Libretto W105


$1,100.00 Released September, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Runs Windows 7. Comes with a 64GB SSD. Good build quality.

The Cons:Expensive price point for unproven technology / design. Very limited run - had to get a hold of, and won't be around for long. Poor speakers.

The Toshiba Libretto W105 is a dual-screen, ultra-portable notebook-tablet PC hybrid. The first device of its kind to be brought to market, it features two identical, 7", 1024x600 screens. It can be used like a netbook, with the bottom panel as a touch-screen keyboard, or as an e-book reader, or with the two panels combined to create a larger touch workspace.

Built-in Toshiba software acts alongside Windows 7, aiming to adapt basic computing tasks like browsing the internet to the unique interface of the W105. The system's performance is on par with that of mainstream ultraportables – it utilizes a 1.2GHz Pentium U500 processor and 2GB of RAM – but battery life is not, rated at just above 2 hours.
