The recent launch of the latest iphone, the Asus EEE and new PDA’s… is there still a place for an older Libretto such as a 100CT in today’s computer landscape? I am not going to beat about the bush. For many an old Libretto is not right, never will be. It is not brand new, contains the latest in technologies and pushing innovation. There will always be a camp of people who can’t bear to use older hardware. If that is you, stop reading now please, this article won’t be worth the read.

Too many Libretto’s I fear are gathering dust or even worse have been disposed off, however with a bit of time it is amazing what the Libretto can still achieve. Qwerty keyboard, good size screen, upgradeable hard drive, multi-os and pcmcia providing the ability to increase functionality further. Sounds like a device that can cater to somebodies requirements to me.

Now you might be thinking CPU and available software. True the CPU can be a factor, but there still is software that is very usable on an old libretto and there are things you can do to overcome some barriers.

Comparison time. The Libretto isn’t a fit in your pocket social connectivity tool. So lets knock the head on those comparisons, there is no point. The Asus EEE is larger, higher spec, but there are many requirements that your older Libretto’s can provide that the Asus can also, but alas there is as many an old Libretto can’t. In fact lets stop the comparisons. No point!

So what does it come down to? It was obvious from the beginning really wasn’t it. There are some of us who refuse to give up on older technologies just because they are not slick and sexy enough in today’s computing landscape. If the product provides functionality that you are happy with and is the right device for a specific requirement fantastic, if your requirements change then so be it. Also there are many who want to see how far they can push their Libretto’s, the old school techs used to pushing their hardware. Why? It’s fun.

So the answer to the question? Yes
