Toshiba Introduces the World's First Dual-Touch-Screen Windows® Mini-Notebook PC "Libretto W100"

Toshiba Corporation, the industry pioneer in mobile computing, today announced that it will celebrate 25 years of innovation in the portable PC business with the launch of the "libretto W100", the world's first [as of June 2010] dual touch-screen Windows mini-notebook PC, and three other products available in seven different models. The new line-up will be rolled out in the Japanese market this summer, with the first products on shelves on June 25, 2010.



Outlines of Libretto W100

Toshiba's excellence in high-density mounting and engineering have created a unique, pocket-sized companion, with distinctive dual 7.0-inch Wide LCDs that offer a display equivalent to a 10.0-inch wide screen. The clamshell case opens like a book or a notebook PC to reveal the world's first Windows® platform to integrate dual touch-sensitive screens. Used as a PC, the libretto displays a haptic keyboard on the lower screen; held vertically, it becomes an ebook reader that displays a double-page spread. Compact and only 699 grams, the libretto W100 is a "mini-note PC" that can go everywhere.
