LIBRETTO (NOTEBOOK)

:''This article is about the notebook. For the musical term see Libretto.''

The 'Libretto' is a line of subnotebook computers designed and produced by Toshiba. Its distinguishing feature was squeezing the functionality of a full Windows PC into a device small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. The first model, the ''Libretto 20'', was released on 17 April 1996 and had a volume of 821 cm³ and weighed just 840 g. The original line was discontinued in the U.S. in 1999. A single new model was introduced in 2005.
