The market is already well populated with tablets (convertible or no), netbooks and ultraportables, but it may soon see the arrival of a new type of mobile computer, namely the dual-display libretto W105/W100, a keyboardless UMPC (ultra mobile personal computer) that Toshiba has been working on.

Basically, the device is composed of two 7-inch touchscreens with LED backlighting and a native resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels.

In other words, the W105/W100 is a laptop that has an extra touchscreen instead of a physical keyboard, while retaining the 'regular' connectivity and I/O options.

This machine has, at its heart, an Intel Pentium U5400 dual-core central processing unit with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. This CPU is backed up by 2GB of DDR3 800MHz RAM.

For storage, Toshiba threw in a solid state drive with a capacity of 62 GB, leaving a microSD slot as the means of reading memory cards.

The list of specifications includes Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, an USB 2.0 port, a webcam and Intel integrated graphics.

As for energy efficiency, Toshiba managed to get its dual-screen novelty to be declared compliant with the Energy Star and EPEAT Gold specifications.

Unfortunately, the battery used and, consequently, the actual battery life is, at this time, not specifically pointed out.

All in all, the Toshiba libretto W105/W100 is a unique machine completely focused on touch input while retaining full PC functionality.

In fact, the electronic is even pre-loaded with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, which actually ensures that the touch controls are as intuitive and easy to use as they can be.

Finally, the UMPC is expected to reach stores this month, priced at roughly $1,100. In the meantime, consumers interested in such an innovative concept may visit the official product page on the company's website, where it has already been listed.
