Toshiba Libretto U100
cnet have a review for the Toshiba Libretto U100 which is a very light sub-notebook that can be carried around easily.
The Toshiba Libretto U100 is built for road warriors and gadget hounds who feel that even four or five pounds of computer gear is just too much to carry between airport gates or meeting rooms. Though it’s been continuously sold in Japan, the U100 is the first Libretto in six years to be sold in the United States–and it’s among the smallest and lightest notebooks available anywhere. Looking like a Lilliputian version of a typical laptop, this two-pound wonder is deceptively powerful and can compete with larger and heavier systems, but its tiny screen and keys present a challenge when it comes to getting work done for long stretches. We laud the effort to downsize the notebook, but the Libretto U100 shows that less can be–well, less. At $1,999 (as of July 2005), we think less-expensive designs that weigh a few ounces more and have grown-up keyboards and screens, such as the Dell Latitude X1 or even the U100’s sibling Toshiba Portege R200, will prove much more useful.
Sturdy yet elegant, the black, white, and silver Libretto U100 features an internal aluminum frame, a magnesium base, and a brushed-aluminum and plastic lid that are designed to take a beating. Petite and light, the U100 is about as small as a notebook gets these days. Larger than the NEC MobilePro 900 handheld PC but smaller and lighter than just about any notebook on the market, the U100’s dimensions (1.3 inches thick, 8.3 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep) mean that it can easily slip into a jacket pocket or a briefcase pouch and go anywhere you go. At 2.2 pounds, it’s also a few ounces lighter than the Dell Latitude X1 and nearly a pound less than the Sony VAIO VGN-T250, although both of these systems have larger screens and keyboards. With the tiny AC adapter and power cord, the U100 hits the road at an enviable 2.9 pounds.
