Toshiba release a Android Netbook (AC100)
A few people don’t know that the Android operating system used on many new smartphones was also designed to be run us a normal laptop, and even desktop, OS. Toshiba have used this to their advantage to lower costs on their new AC100 which is an ultraslim netbook.
As with any netbook, the AC100 is focused on delivering accessibility and mobility with media consumption being it’s main objective. It has a 1GHz Nvidia processor with 512 MB RAM which is not to shabby for something you will do the odd word processing and normal web browsing on.
One of the neatest features must be the ‘always-on’ capability. The Toshiba AC100 can go for up to seven days with out being recharged; obviously that is if you hardly use it. With normal usage it can still crack about 8 hours of constant usage time.
It weighs about 870g with the dimensions 262.1mm x 189.8mm x 21mm. That allows for a 10.1 inch LED which is another power saving feature on the AC100.
