Toshiba Libretto, Psion Series 5, Nimatics Persona

Article Abstract:

The Toshiba Libretto Pentium-based subnotebook computer comes with a 75MHz processor, 16MB of RAM, a 540MB hard disk drive and an active matrix color display that measures six inches across. The major drawback of the machine is its tiny keyboard. The keyboard is too small to allow for comfortable touch-typing, and is even difficult to type with using the hunt-and-peck method. The device is also hampered by a lack of memory. The Nimantics Persona proved to be a superior subnotebook. Measuring about the size of a trade paperback book, the computer has a Pentium processor and an active matrix color screen. The notebook weighs less than three pounds, but has a keyboard that is easier to manage than the Libretto, and has useful connectors for and external microphone, keyboard or mouse. The hand-held device of the group, the Psion Series 5, proved to be good performer. The device comes with a usable touch-typable keyboard, Windows CE software, and a touch screen stylus.
