Image:ToshibaLibretto70ct.jpg The Libretto is a line of subnotebook computer line (mini-notebook) designed and produced by Toshiba. It's distinguishing feature was squeezing the functionality of a full Windows PC into a device small enough to fit on a palm. 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 line was discontinued in the U.S. in 1999, though a special new model was introduced in 2005.
