I think it's a Libretto L5, they have been avaialble for about 6 months now I concur. It's definitely the same appearance and I think Transmeta only had it on display because there aren't too many PCs out there using a Transmeta CPU, so they pulled a Japanese only model for display. The Transmeta CPU is basically, IMO, a piece of junk. It performs at about 1/2 the rated CPU speed (thus a 800Mhz Transmeta = 400Mhz Pentium), doesn't provide the user with any significant improvements in battery life vs. a comprable Pentium at the 1/2 speed, and fools the user into spending $$$ for a dog slow laptop. People -think- they're getting the 4+ hour battery life from the amazing CPU, but in reality, they're putting in bigger better packs than before. However, once you do the division math on the speed ratings and understand that you will be buying a Transmeta that runs 1/2 the rating, then you'll be in a good spot to decide if you do want that laptop or not. They aren't very competitive with the latest low power mobile Pentiums in terms of bang for the buck nowadays, which is why very few laptops even use them - believe it's only 11 major laptop models actually use the CPU today out of the hundreds of laptop models made today. --- anyways, nothing like those 3Ghz laptops =) sure, battery life sucks, but nothing like 3Ghz to go! = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do you Yahoo!?

I'll take 2 of those 400MHz equiv. dog slow laptops to replace my 166 and 233 blazing fast Libbys. I don't look at MHz ratings nowadays. When I first got my Thinkpad T21 800MHz I noticed that there was something different when running on batteries. Nothing I could put my finger on just a feel. Things like not quite so snappy when scrolling webpages in opera. I checked /proc/cpu and it was screaming along at 177MHz.

A friend of mine has a Toshiba Satellite with a 700Mhz PIII, which seems to run very slow. At times my 266 L100 will almost perform faster. Personally, my next laptop purcahse will probably by a Portege 7020CT. Still light enough to travel with, yet powerful enough to use some newer apps or multitask a little better, plus watch DVDs on the plane. Of course, I would probably still carry the Lib on a daily basis, and synchronize as needed, for as long as I could. - Get your free @Elvis e-mail account at Elvis.com! http://www.elvis.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
