Satsuki Then, Aug 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

Just two days after officially going on sale in the UK via Amazon, the Toshiba Libretto W100 dual-screen ultraportable has sold out.

While everyone was busy dreaming about the Microsoft Courier, Toshiba was already hard at work on one -- and one they actually planned to release. And while initial thoughts on the device have been all over the place on the Internet, the Libretto W100 does indeed do one thing very well: it's a good way to get your Courier needs placated, because you can't have the Courier.

Evan Selleck, Jul 28th 2010 Discuss [0]

The 3D movement isn't going anywhere any time soon, and as long as the TVs that power that technology in our living rooms start lowering those staggering prices, we can honestly say that it's probably only going to get broader before it dies away.

Toshiba Portege R705 Review

Ewdison Then, Jul 26th 2010 Discuss [3]

Toshiba’s Portege R705 is an unexpected addition to the company’s ultraportable range.

That makes it the cheapest Portege to date, and Toshiba would like us to remember it’s also the lightest 13.3-inch notebook with an integrated optical drive (outside of Japan, at least).
