The Toshiba Libretto U100 is a sub-notebook, similar to Fujitsu's Lifebook or the trendy OQO. It packs a full-featured PC into a very small package. In this case: a Pentium M 1.2Ghz with 512MB RAM, 60GB HD and a 7.2" widescreen running Windows XP Home.
I purchased my Libretto about a month ago in preparation for traveling to a conference. A local big box store had them on clearance, including the optional dock. The dock adds a DVD multi-recorder.
Maximum power combined with maximum portability were my primary considerations in purchasing a new notebook, and I have been pleased with the Libretto. Its a unique machine, however, and not without issues relating to its novelty.
Some of the positive aspects of my experience with the Libretto:
Storage: the Libretto has a 60GB HD, unusual for a sub-notebook and a good size ...
This machine could have been so perfect, but has one failing. I'll come on that.
First of all, let's talk about the Libretto series. This is the range of 'Tosh' notebooks which are much the same size as a VHS library case.
The series started with the 30, which was underpowered. Then the 50, then the 70, 100, 110, 1000, etc.
What I like about the 70 is that it's just about powerful enough for sensible work (P120), but it still retains the small size. The later models all started to get bigger.
It's great for writing on the train. With a big laptop I'd feel quite conspicuous, but with my little Libby I don't feel like I'm being noticed.
So what's that problem I mentioned? It's the screen. A beautiful crystal clear screen, but only 640 x 480 pixels. Just about all modern software is written for minimum 800 x 600 pixels, so ...
Advantages: Huge rooms, great comfort, good location. Disadvantages: Parking !
My appreciation of the internet reached an all-time high, when we checked into the Tryp HotelOviedo last summer.
It had been discovered, researched and booked all online, and nothing disappointed.

My experience really started with the decision to use a no-frills airline to do a cheapie European holiday last summer.
The problem was that the cheap flights from Belfast were alll booked up and we could have got a package holiday for the flight costs to Prague, Barcelona and the like.
Suddenly, I came on Stelios's new Easyjet route to Asturias from Stansted. I had to get the maps out to find out where it was, and check online to see what the area could offer - it all looked good.
We were soon booked for this beautiful part of Northern Spain - reviewed by me elsewhere ...
