Toshiba introduced the Libretto W100 June 21, calling it, by turns, a “concept PC” a “next-gen ultra-mobile PC” and a device that “goes beyond slates, netbooks and smartphones.” Whatever its official designation, the Libretto features two 7-inch screens with multi-touch technology that can fold flat or come together clamshell — or newspaper — style. The screens can work in concert for a book-like experience, or independently, letting a user surf the Web on one side while composing an email or video chatting on the other. While Toshiba offered no pricing details, it said the Libretto W100 will arrive, in a limited run, later this summer, with future versions encompassing the feedback of early adopters.

Toshiba Libretto W100
The Toshiba Libretto W100 features two 7-inch displays (on the diagonal) with multi-touch technology and a resolution of 1,024 by 600.
Multiple Displays
The displays can work together or independently. Connectivity on the slate — or concept PC — comes via 802.11 b/g/n wireless and Bluetooth 2.1. There’s also a USB 2.0 port and a microSD slot.
Measurements
The Libretto W100 measures 7.95 by 4.84 by 1.2 inches and weighs 1.8 pounds — nothing a user is bound to notice in a briefcase or purse.
Communication and Collaboration
A built-in 3D accelerometer means the Libretto can be used vertically or horizontally. Along with Windows 7 Home Premium, a 1.2GHz Intel Pentium U5400 processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 62GB solid-state drive, a 1-megapixel Webcam is on board and can be used with apps such as Skype.
Sleek Look
Showing off its brushed metallic finish, the Libretto can fold closed to protect its displays from scratches or breaking.
Custom Software
The Libretto comes with custom software, such as Toshiba’s Bulletin Board, seen here. Users can post favorite apps, links, photos and more. Also making the device feel more user-specific is a choice of six virtual keyboard modes, including full, numeric 10-key and a split-thumb mode.
