Toshiba AC100 Android Smartbook Video

Toshiba Android 2.1 Smartbook or Toshiba AC100 Smartbook which comes with an nVidia Tegra 250 chipset and sport 10.1-inch (1024 x 600 pixel) display and also have 128GB SSD and a 512MB of DDR2 memory. Will be now shipping to Japan.

The AC 100 have a weight of 1.9 pounds and give up to 8-hour of run time or up to 180-hour of standby time.

Hands on review reveal some advantage and disadvantage of the AC100.

Overall, the hardware seems pretty nice and the netbook is designed to get excellent battery life while still having enough power to handle 1080p HD video playback. The mini-laptop also weighs just 1.9 pounds.

The software is another story. While I’ve pointed out in the past that Windows XP and Windows 7 seem ill equipped for touchscreen tablets because those operating systems are clearly designed for use with a keyboard and mouse, Peter suggests that the Toshiba AC100 has the opposite problem. It is a laptop-style device which uses a keyboard and mouse or touchpad — but the operating system was clearly designed for touch. Unfortunately there’s no touchscreen display.
