Coming as a rather surprise, Toshiba digs out with a rare Innovative two screen Tablet. Christened as “Libretto W100″, the gadget did manage turn the necks of the tech enthusiasts generating some contrast reviews.
The latest from Toshiba comes in the form of a traditional Clamshell design, a default for the laptops and Netbooks. But the slight twist here is despite the presence of two panels, the device goes away with the mechanical device. The gadget brings in touch to both the screens with the option to customize the second screen as a touch sensitive QWERTY keyboard layout, giving its users the same experience as that of a Laptop or a conventional Netbook. The most important feature of the device though is its ability to use both the screens independently. Which means you can browse on one screen and at the same time read an E-book or watch a movie on the other without much interference, now that is multitasking in real sense. Since the complete Gadget is touch-centric, it comes in pre-installed with Windows 7 Home premium rather unsurprisingly.
Coming on to its core features; the device encases a 1.2GHz Intel U5400 processor, and is clubbed with 2GB DDR3 RAM, and a 62GB Hard drive. As far as connectivity is concerned, the device supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1, which are default these days. The Device does show a micro SD card slot but comes in with just one-USB 2.0 ports which just might not go well with the users. The gadget is also bundled with an accelerometer, enabling both Portrait and Landscape view.
The device for now is being sold by Toshiba as a concept design and the price is yet to be revealed. To what extent the device the manages to create its segment, might only be cleared when the users actually start exploiting it, and how well it does in peeping through Apple’s iPad, which shall be its biggest competitors, depends on how the users finally receive it.
