To support increased customer demand and uses for the Windows 95 and NT compatible mini-notebook category, the Libretto 100CT offers higher performance, wider expansion capabilities and extended battery life. These powerful new capabilities make the Libretto 100CT suitable for more than e-mail and light editing. As capable as a standard PC, the 2.35-pound mini-notebook still fits conveniently in the hand, but can easily handle demanding applications and graphics-intensive presentations. Powerful enough to be used as a primary PC, the Libretto 100CT's 166MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology, 2GB hard disk drive and 32MB of high-speed EDO memory deliver higher performance than many desktops in corporate America. In addition to high-travel business executives and sales professionals who use the Libretto for presentations and data retrieval, the Libretto 100CT allows IS managers and network administrators to access and trouble-shoot PCs throughout an organization, which is especially beneficial in campus environments. The Libretto's faster processor and large hard drive expand the mini-notebook market, allowing professionals to use a Windows-based PC for vertical applications such as health care. Ideally suited for the medical industry, the Libretto can be used as a display and monitoring device for medical equipment, such as EKG machines. Its lightweight design allows doctors to move about the hospital, visiting patients and reviewing medical records and charts over a wireless network. Easily carried to meetings, the Libretto 100CT offers a new 7.1-inch active-matrix panoramic display with 800 x 480 resolution, NeoMagic's 128-bit graphics controller, 2MB of video memory and a Yamaha 16-bit SoundBlaster Pro compatible sound system.
