Toshiba Libretto W100 – Toshiba Dual-Screen Laptop
Toshiba has celebrated 25 years of laptop production by releasing the Libretto W100, which it claims is the world’s first dual-screen laptop to run Windows 7.
The company has employed a clamshell design to protect the 7-inch panels within. Both of the screens are touch-capacitive, meaning you can use either panel to manipulate your content, be it rotating a photo or scrolling down a web page. It’s possible to run separate applications on each screen – a spreadsheet on the top screen with a word processor on the bottom for example – and you can switch programs between the two screens by dragging the relevant application up or down.
In addition to this, the bottom screen features a virtual keyboard with a number of configurations, including QWERTY, letting you type up emails or documents. Should you want to view your content vertically, the in-built accelerometer lets you rotate the device to do so.
An Intel Pentium U5400 processor provides the power,alongside 2o48MB of DDR3 memory, while a 62GB Solid State Drive offers a fair amount of storage. Should that not be enough, a Micro SD slot allows you to add more. Connectivity-wise. 802.110n Wi-Fi allows the fastest wireless network connections currently available and there is also Bluetooth for hooking up to any external peripherals you may have, such as a smartphone. Toshiba claims the W1oo’s battery lasts 210-minutes between charges and the tiny chassis weighs just 819g.
Available in August, Price $1099
