Libretto (notebook)

Libretto is also a musical term


The Libretto is a sub-notebook computer line (mini-notebook) designed and produced by Toshiba. It's distinguishing feature is that it was a fully PC compatible computer (unlike PDAs, Pocket PCs, etc. that run Windows CE) that can fit on a palm (it's much smaller than a standard laptop). The first model (the Libretto 20) which was released on 17 April 1996 had a volume of 821.1 cm and weighed just 840 g!

There are several different models. Originally, they used processors from AMD, but starting with the Libretto 50, they use the Intel Pentium and Pentium MMX processors.
