TOSHIBA LIBRETTO 1010
The Libretto, which means "small book" in Italian, was first introduced in Japan in early 1996 as the Libretto 20. Six generations on - seven if you include the markedly larger Libretto 100 - Toshiba has introduced the lightest, fastest and slimmest Libretto yet, the Libretto 1010. Housed in a sleek silver and dark gray magnesium alloy body, the Libretto 1010 is a mere 0.96" deep, nearly a third slimmer than previous models. With 64MB of RAM as standard, a Pentium 233MMX CPU and 512KB of pipeline burst Level 2 cache, the Libretto 1010 is an extremely peppy little machine. And an option of going to 266MHz. Reflecting advances in battery technology, the battery is at least a third smaller than any previous Libretto battery, and yet provides up to 3 hours of life. Slot in the optional extended life battery, and you get up to 6 hours on this battery alone. Other design improvements include moving the PC Card slot to the left-hand side, thereby allowing the user to manipulate the pointing device without any PC Card devices getting in the way. The mini-dock, which Toshiba has decided to market as an optional extra, clips onto the rear and features parallel, serial, monitor, USB and PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports. In a class of its own, the Libretto 1010 is unquestionably the most portable Windows 95/98 notebook computer on the planet and is the machine of choice for those who need to be able to put the power of a desktop into a coat pocket. |
