Toshiba Libretto 100CT

Performance is nothing to write home about either. With a particularly slow Access score, the Libretto 100CT's overall benchmark of 0.62 was considerably slower than that of our desktop 166MHz MMX reference. I very much doubt that the Libretto will be used for Photoshop or DTP work, but the 32Mb of RAM and 166MHz MMX processor will run two major Office applications such as Word and Excel side by side without breaking a sweat.

There's no denying that the Libretto 100CT is absolutely gorgeous to look at, a pose to own and a marvellous demonstration of what modern technology can do. However, until improvements are made to the keyboard and battery life, its practical applications remain limited.
