The Libretto (W100) is the world's first dual-touch-screen laptop running Microsoft Windows 7 that offers the consumer an enriched ultra-mobile computing experience. The Libretto W100 showcases Toshiba's engineering skill and ingenuity, creating a unique pocket-sized companion that can be used to create and consume any content.
Groundbreaking showcase
The Libretto W100 with its two 17.8cm (7 inch) touch-sensitive screens is targeted at prosumers who want to be at the forefront of creative mobile computing and want to enjoy state-of-the art web and computing applications refined by a unique user interface. The Libretto W100 takes user interaction to a new level, offering a distinctive and intuitive method of conceiving and capturing ideas.
Innovative user interface
The Libretto W100 can mimic both 'traditional media', opening like a book, or 'high-tech' media, like lifting the lid of a laptop. That means users could hold the Libretto W100 vertically to read the double-page spread of a newspaper, or could hold it horizontally, reading a document on the upper screen, while using the lower screen to capture clippings and ideas. The lower screen can also display a virtual keyboard, enabling the device to function in the same way as a laptop. The user can easily drag and drop content, files or icons from one screen to another with a simple sweep of the finger.
Highly versatile, highly personal
Lighter and smaller than even a netbook, people will carry the Libretto W100 with them nearly everywhere. With its attractive casing, the smart Libretto W100 is discreet and aesthetically pleasing, and will appeal to creative, stylish people. Its wireless connectivity can provide convenient web access on the move to surf the web, to read and type e-mails or messages, to stay in contact with friends on social networks, download newspapers and watch videos
The Portégé R700 is our thinnest and lightest full-function 33.8cm (13.3 inch) laptop with an impressive blend of mobility, performance and features for business users. A well-specified business machine, it combines a lightweight, ultra-slim chassis with innovative computing technologies.
Groundbreaking technologies
"Our long-standing engineering expertise has enabled us to design a laptop with an unparalleled blend of high performance, mobility and features – yet at a decent price". "To achieve a device like the Portégé R700 we have made major advances in three areas: heat management, chassis construction, and memory chip deployment," explains Sivakumar N.
Airflow Cooling Technology, co-developed by Intel and Toshiba, allows Toshiba to integrate the latest Intel Core family processors in the Portégé R700's slim casing. A honeycomb structure in the palm-rest area makes the Portégé R700 highly durable against flexing - protecting the electronic and mechanical components from being damaged, considerably prolonging the life of the product. By innovatively stacking the memory slots vertically, the Portégé R700 can accommodate up to 8GB RAM for even more powerful performance.
Travel light, work easily
The black Portégé R700 enables business users to travel light without compromising on performance. Thanks to the integration of the latest Intel standard voltage Core processors and the availability of an optical disc drive, the slim and light laptop is equipped to run even the most-demanding multimedia applications. And the powerful performance of Portégé R700 doesn't compromise on battery life - it can run for an entire working day of up to eight hours on one battery charge. The new model offers even more useful features to enhance its portability and appeal for business people; e.g. a durable yet very elegant black magnesium-alloy cover with a matt finish, a 3D sensor for hard disk protection against drops and shocks , a broad range of connectivity options, a Clear Super View Technology LED Backlit screen and a docking station connector. The docking station supports HDMI and USB 3.0 for fast data transfer.
