Toshiba Libretto W100

The world's first dual touchscreen device to run Windows 7, the Toshiba Libretto W100 displays content across two 17.8cm (7") screens, allowing users to navigate through their applications in the most intuitive way. The combination of a dual touchscreen form factor and integrated accelerometer allows for a diverse way of using the Libretto W100 -- simply split content across two screens; turn the Libretto W100 vertically for reading web pages, or bring up the virtual keyboard for more traditional clamshell computing.

Imagine emulating Nintendo DS on that! Toshiba WAS leading innovation!

[@marcohde19]

This device looks amazing, it has 62GB SSD drive which will make it run like a rocket on Windows 7, has 2GB of ram (2x times a standard netbook) . It has a Web Cam integrated and headphone jacks for video calls. The only mysterious capability is the battery, in the website says it lasts 4 hours (extended battery) and 2 hours (normal battery) with a Intel Pentium U5400 CPU. however I think they should use SU4100 or SU7300 to give 8 hour battery for this innovative device.

I was a few months old when u typed that comment

[@marcohde19]

@@plainrock1226 congrats for liking computer technology, after 13 years tech has changed a lot and Microsoft has made their own 2 in 1 devices with Microsoft Surface where they can be both a desktop PC or a tablet with long battery life.

[@bearincamo]

Too all those who miss the point of this. No it isn't a laptop nor is it a tablet. It is the melding of the two. It is a compromise between laptop and tablet. Offering more view space and power than a tablet. While also being more compact than the average laptop. It really fits best in the netbook genre. And yet, its more than a netbook. While it is far from perfect, it is a beginning. Yes they should have added some things. It is still completely unique and forward thinking. Good job Toshiba!

[@TALON-7]

I like the form factor (size, appearance). I would use this device as a personal digital organizer, internet browser, ebook reader, media player. I recommend the following: Android OS, Tegra 2 chip, 3G, Stylus support, 5 megapixel camera w/LED flash on the back. Going with Tegra, the device can eliminate heating issues and the need for a fan, which could reduce the weight and width.

[@elishlah]

Finally it inspired Microsoft to create surface duo 🤔😁

[@abaeran]

not quite the microsoft courier concept, but a step closer to a neat dual screen sidekick.

[@JImmy4336]

forget the iPad. this looks so much better.

[@_____845]

I love Toshiba/Dynabook

[@caseygtr]

It can run share ware without being jail broken, just that alone makes it better then the iPad.

[@Carmen4041]

I LOVE LIBRETTO!!!!

[@teenagesatanworship]

finally! a dual screen laptop. took it's sweet time. this one doesn't look very impressive but i'm sure some better ones will come out.

[@SLeeSG]

@PickYourVenom Yes, you are right, the virtual keyboard on laptop is a bit strange, right? Hehe. But it's actually nice, I already checked it and I suggest you to try it with the double keyboard (two parts) to use with the laptop on hands, hehe... But with memory, windows 7 works nicely.

[@andresbravo2003]

Toshiba does before Microsoft’s Surface Neo was made…

[@JohnnySanchez-aka-7rooper]

Why are people saying this costs twice an iPad? How much will this be priced? Two touch screens and neither is multi-touch! Anyway, I love it when you can open it like a book.

[@PickYourVenom]

@DtorBillAgain and you don't even have to worry about scratching the screens since it closes up like a ds. i don't know how much i'd like a virtual keyboard though :/

[@wowpowcom]

haha, imagine typing anything holding it like that :)

[@airfoemoe]

I wish the keyboard was like swype for android on smartphones.

[@FlowingRightBack]

@SuperRaptorz Yeah, try using more than one finger...

[@ioputz]

In 17 seconds ,from 0:40 until 0:57 this girl from the video succesfully managed to write down on this fabulous tablet 27 characterss, including breakspaces. That is a Stone Age typing rate of 1.588235294117647 charaters pro second. EPIC ! !!

[@imfuctifino]

pixel population really needs upping . but i like it .. iPad with a built in stand

[@ace4401]

looks fairly interesting, kinda looks like a giant Nintendo DS

[@MrCusmile]

Perfect, saving up for one.

[@GospodGobar]

Did you manage to save up for one? How is it holding up? lol

[@Moocman]

Good idea .... but I don't like the keyboard. Does it vibrate when you tap it? I want some feedback to know I hit the key.

[@DoomBoxRL]

@armonnay I do!

[@ItsScienceBitch]

@TheDoloReel 100% agree. What hell is wrong with buttons ?

[@johanndirry]

appears to be a little bit slow.. useability depends also on the quality of the virtual-keyboard.

[@KristenApolinario]

it looks like a giant ds lol. just like how the ipad is a big ipod touch. I LOVE IT! lol

[@JImmy4336]

yes you should.

[@zsoltixx93]

It can emulate a keyboard too, but what happens if the keyboard freezes with windows.

[@Hypnotized81]

@ioputz Your problem is that it doesn' allow "fast blind typing"??? Have you been hiding dyring 2009-2010? Have you heard of touch screens, tablet pcs etc?

[@SuperRaptorz]

Do you think it is possible to type faster than 5 words per minute on this thing ?

[@stickmandaninacan]

this is cool, but the one thing i noticed when using it at harvey norman, (a big retail store in australia for u americans) i tryed fast typing one handed, and since im somehow good, i can do it about half to 3/4 as fast as normal typing, but since i was typing that fast the response on the touch screen wasnt quick enough and it missed heaps of letters. upgrade the touch screen and i might consider buying it :)

[@elofradelku7077]

Omg nice laptop

[@satanplay]

@WSWEss me too....

[@ioputz]

Since 0:40 until 0:57 the girl on the video managed to writte on this fabulous tablet the words : "Toshiba leading Innovations" . That is meaning 27 characters, including breakspaces. That is meaning a typing rate of 0.62 characters on a single second, otherwise 27 characters on 17 seconds. This is Stone Age typing rate , on the walls ! Epic !

[@jdgamerx]

You know I'm at the point where anything that makes Steve Jobs look bad makes me happy, but I'd have to try it out to make heads or tails.

[@nequefus]

What would you say if I actually had athis same idea in my head for the last 5 monts and about to copyright a laptop with the same structure? Would you belive me? I have a scrap of it and with nearly the same specs, thiner and lighter. =)

[@adam75south]

i have no desire to own either, but i'm pretty sure i'd still take the ipad over this.

[@Cybercreeps]

The only downside that I could see is that this W100 not so thin and slim like iPad... I just hope toshiba can make it thin and slim as the iPad... than many people will like it.

[@augustrunsred]

@iVilliain I hope you don't choke too hard on the dust of progressive technology.

[@anonymus070]

nothing can beat the ipad:)

[@Zachc94]

I want one

[@fla3x]

NDS 3D > Ipad & this together!

[@threecheerer]

does anybody know where i can get the full tech specs for the libretto?

[@rakimakiyoyo]

@7rooper 0:31 DUH!

[@principsus]

@DaViAhueliVse What do u know about battery work? Better not comment if u have lack of info

[@natcaasi]

Any whiff of the price ?

[@kilymat]

Mr Toshiba, the ipad cost twice less. i know u dont get the full OS with the Ipad but think about it, on a device that small, what will the consumer really use it for except Mail/surfing and a few limited apps, Ipad gives you all that for cheaper and with a superior user experience and apps variety, im no apple fanboy, just sharing my point of view

[@lankanboy202]

@MyLivePage NIntendo DSi XL

[@getlowjoe]

In the beginning I thought the advert was cool. But after seeing how she was typing with one finger and how everything movement was slow, it makes me wonder if this is going to be another failure.

[@georginiogr]

Why Windows 7??? I m using only Linux. Cant i find it with Linux? If not than it s not for me!!!

[@ifm2181]

It's a netbook at best, it's not made for games or crazy apps and whatever. Use it to read scanlations and skype while you're waiting for something. Haters gonna hate.

[@asif987]

@DirtyMidgetStudios :)

[@CAFECITYSTUDIO]

so.... when u wanna see a movie split????

[@ElendilAndAragorn]

Cool for ebooks though

[@maumex732]

its a bigger dualtouch ds but with windows 7

[@thesuperfilms]

so...how long would it take to type an essay?

[@5botball]

at least on the ipad you can type with all fingers. on a 7inch screen dont even start. its hard if not impossible to type.

[@yoshinoricyann]

キーボードもタッチにするなら、あえて折りたたみにしなくてもいい気がするが。。。 いまは類似品が出すぎてるからこういう商品も好きですが。

[@Rockyface]

lols at one finger typing skills.

[@sokkerking12345]

@VASH1291 go to apple and search "thoughts on flash"

[@v4lkyr]

@Vermiculusify haha, so you want to tell me you never had probs with win98 or Vista?

[@mt441]

Fuck that. Sacrificing a physical keyboard for a crappy touchscreen emulated one? Bad idea.

[@TheWizardu75]

MT441HD It's more like a Windows 7 Tablet

[@WSWEss]

i want!!!!!

[@Animactus]

USB, Micro SD Slot, Camera, Conrats, you've beeten the iPad

[@Cool5435ify]

Why not just get a netbook?

[@BadBoyBoyzz]

@ioputz WTF is your problem?

[@aznalex0]

THIS IS NOT LEADING INNOVATION - THIS IS NINTENDO DS !!

[@izahkamal6490]

first screen on toshiba libretto w100 look like ipad air

[@mlisy07]

lmao, thats what i just thought NDS XL

[@SLeeSG]

@annunagh 'This is crap'

[@MajrMovieMadnes]

Alright so i love how people are whinning that it is a windows. Windows 7 is amazing! I have never had a problem with it. not did i ever have a problem with vista. But idiots who download stuff and get viruses are just stupid then blame it on windows for messing up their computer when it was there own fault! there is nothing wrong with windows 7!

[@Vermiculusify]

@v4lkyr Never had to use it - been running Windows all my life. Your hardware probably just sucks.

[@anonymus070]

@TheKillerBeats but it has a shitty battery, and its fat.:) and it seems laggy..

[@Cifulott]

No linux Distro ???? only Win 7 on it ? BbuuuuuuUUUuuuuu

[@fitzgibbon01]

It looks kinda chunky and 'plasticy'. not as sleek and well made as the iPad

[@smartrafraf]

Good bye "Blind typing method"

[@v4lkyr]

Nobody can use a windows device without Ctrl+Alt+Del

[@augustrunsred]

@oomidhay Except bigger, faster, more capable, and better.

[@vegasdry]

@dazziola OK, just a second... Let me get this straight... MS, a company that controls 90% of the computer market; is now waiting for competition? Seriously man, they got a thousand nerds thinking of cool things everyday. They really really don't need Jobs to create a tiny laptop with mic (smart phone). BTW, I hate touch screen; so Jobs can suck it.

[@LeVainCasque]

Nice Nintendo DS..err I mean...Laptop...err i mean...Netbook...

[@1AxelTheDemon1]

its not cool cuz it dosent have an own OS

[@cliffjp]

ipad times 2

[@christopherbingham2187]

wo

[@Vermiculusify]

@v4lkyr Vista was terrible. They tried to push an interface they weren't ready for - but they've got it right win Windows 7. Windows 98 was just a failure at life - anytime you need to release a second edition you just need to throw it out and admit defeat. And remember, the GUI was still a fledgling little concept at the time, and Microsoft has a tendency to bite off more than they can chew. or even swallow. sometimes they have to spit it up.

[@soton000]

would be better with LINUX!!!!!!!!

[@TekThunder]

I really would rather just buy an ipad that cost up to half of this thing.

[@melanoleukos]

It's great but I head it will cost 1300$+ (That will ruin the device)

[@v4lkyr]

@SamanthasLover17 kk

[@TheKaeseStulle]

@v4lkyr qft

[@realbudman]

Cool story bro, You went to all that trouble and didn't even work out the words per minute.

[@vegasdry]

@dazziola Dude, you're joking, right? Windows 7 runs with almost anything. Vista is a memory hog. Windows 7 is the successor to XP. Don't be so foolish.

[@SaturnEternity]

Seems too clunky.

[@rikard92]

laggy as hell

[@foggyfrogger7998]

So basically, toshiba took the idea of the nintendo ds and the ipad and made a shitty computer out of it

[@v4lkyr]

the name fails so hard, and 2 displays? I mean come on...

[@Kostasnascos]

@SexIsNotForKids apple fanboy!

[@Sonic6293]

They should have used Windows 7 CE... and it's over $1000? Yeah...NO.

[@lukus22]

No thanks >_>

[@juliancochran]

How grotesque compared to the iPad.
