New Libretto W100
At long last, Toshiba has revealed it’s new Libretto laptop that will be succeed the U100, which whilst being a fantastic machine, is a little dated at almost 5 years since the original release date.
Toshiba has now revealed information about their new Libretto W100 laptop, which is almost more of a cross between a tablet computer and a laptop.

It is interesting that Toshiba decided to use Windows 7 for this laptop, based on it’s size and touch nature, Android would seem like a very good fit, although I’m sure someone will port it regardless of whether it ships as a Windows-only device or not.
LibrettoWorld News
LibrettoWorld has now been moved to the new server provided by Amberdms Ltd and is being administrated by long time LibrettoWorld contributor Jethro Carr.
I’d like to express thanks to Bob Maas for setting up LibrettoWorld originally and for his many contributions over the past couple of years and wish him all the best with his future ventures.
Meanwhile, it’s business as usual – as part of the server move, the site has been updated to the latest release of Wordpress and PHPBB and I’ll be posting some more articles in the near future, including a HOWTO on running Fedora 12/Linux on a Libretto U100 laptop.
There has also been a few changes to some of the pages, links and the removal of google adwords, there is still some work to be done like doing a proper theme for the blog and forum and updating some of the content in the blog based on the great information in the forum.
Welcome!
As an owner of two of the finest mini laptops around (U100 and CT 100) I found it very hard to get information about the possibilities, upgrades and special software and drivers for the Toshiba Libretto.Mainly information about more complex issues like installing Vista on a Libretto U100, replacing the harddisk of a U100 or installing Windows XP on a Libretto 100 CT is hard to found.
