This funky looking laptop is Toshiba’s latest device to feature Android 2.1; also known as Éclair. It’s a tiny (border-lining netbook size here) laptop with a 10.1″ LED screen with a resolution of 1024×600 and has a 1Ghz Nvidia Tegra 250 mobile processor under the hood. To add to the performance; Toshiba have added 512mb of DDR2 RAM and includes 8Gb of space on a solid state HD (which is not a vast amount for a proposed laptop), with an SD slot for those people wishing to increase the storage capacity of their mini laptop. Toshiba are coining this as an “instant on” device, meaning that because Android 2.1 is a low power OS, it can boot up rather quickly; apparently as quickly as 1 second!
The little AC100 (and it is teeny tiny) has also reportedly got a very good battery life, up to 7 days on standby according to Toshiba, this is quite an accomplishment! However don’t get your hopes up just yet, as that roughly translates into around 8 hours use (if the device is used extensively) a day, but let’s be honest, that is still pretty damn good!. Combine this with an integrated 3G module and this is a good companion for travelling, giving you a good platform for films and working (if you’re a businessman/woman) freeing up your Android smartphone for other tasks. Just check out this video:
The design of the AC100 is a little “exciting” and may not be to everyone’s tastes; give us your thoughts on this one!
