The Next Small Thing in Tablets
Two is often better than one. It takes two to kiss. The two car garage has practically become a birthright. Many lawyers love having a partner and could not imagine practicing solo. TechnoLawyer subscribers have waxed poetic about two monitors. And many of the latest smartphones have two cameras. What next for duality? Toshiba claims to have the answer.
Libretto W100 … in One Sentence
Released this week, Toshiba's Libretto W100 is a Windows 7 tablet with two screens.
The Killer Feature
What's the use case for two screens on a tablet? The same as for dual monitors — write a document while monitoring email, watch a movie in a hotel room while monitoring your nannycam, etc.
The Libretto's two screens measure 7 inches diagonally and close against each other in clamshell fashion. Both screens offer a 1024x600 pixel resolution and feature multitouch technology and a virtual keyboard. An accompanying virtual trackpad enables you to move and position the cursor. The screens toggle between landscape and portrait depending on how you hold the Libretto.
Other Notable Features
The Libretto W100 weighs 1.8 pounds. You'll find an array of wireless technologies, including 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1. It also includes a Webcam, USB port, and memory card reader. It comes equipped with a 62 GB solid state drive for storage and 2 GB of RAM.
What Else Should You Know?
The Libretto W100 is powered by a Pentium U5400 processor and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. Toshiba has not released specifications for the removable battery yet. Pricing starts at $1,099. Learn more about the Libretto W100.
