| TL W105-L251: Click on image for specs |
After recently debuting in Japan, Toshiba is now selling its dual-screen laptop/tablet, Libretto W105, in the U.S., the company said Monday.Libretto W105 (marketed as the W100 in Japan) is a small 7-inch, 1.8-pound, Windows 7 clamshell device that sports two capacitive LCD screens: one for viewing, and one for typing. The typing screen is much like the virtual keyboard on the Apple iPad, though the Libretto offers a few extra keyboard configuration options. The W105 can also function as a dual-screen tablet.
As of 16 August 2010, the W105 is available in the U.S. for preorders at ToshibaDirect.com.
The tablet will sell at select retail stores on Sunday, August 29, for $1,099.99 (approximately $1100), the company said.
U.S. specs that are slightly different from the model in Japan are as follows:
1) Will have only one battery--the larger 8-cell battery--taking the device's weight up to 1.8 pounds compared with the 1.5-pound weight Japanese model
2) Will not include WiMAX wireless broadband (Japanese model has this connectivity)
3) Will run on Windows 7 Home Premium operating system
4) Has an Intel Pentium U5400 dual-core processor
5) A 2GB of memory (DDR3 800MHz)
6) A 62GB solid-state drive/harddisk (SATA)
7) Two 7-inch WSVGA multitouch LED backlit displays (1,024x600)
8) Webcam/microphone built into the LCD bezel
9) Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)
10) Bluetooth V2.1 --------
