Toshiba AC100 Android Smartbook


     This ‘smart book’ is powered by Android 2.1 OS and it is released only in the UK. No signs of US release yet. The AC100 will compete with standard Netbooks as it has got similar specs. The screen size is 10.1 inches small and it weighs 1.9 pounds which means it is targeted at frequent travelers. The display size is small but it is still good for viewing Webpages or working on word processors. Toshiba AC100 Android smartbook has a 1 GHz Tegra 250 SoC processor which is quite slow but will get basic tasks done. Our standard Netbook admonitions apply; you should use the AC 100 just for working on word documents and Web surfing. Anything above that will bring the smartbook down to its heels. We haven’t got the AC 100 in our labs for testing yet and we are interested to see how the Android OS fares on a laptop platform.
