Does the docking station for the U100 have PS/2 ports? While USB is nice for mouse/keyboards under Windows, for DOS I would need PS/2. Thanks! Tony Docking station only has a DVD drive, nothing else, you would think they could have thrown in a few USB/PS2 ports or an extra PCMCIA slot, like in the old days on the L110CT Regards Des

The tab key is probably the smallest key on the keyboard, which i have overcome with key mapping software.

On the plus sides the sccreen is very very crisp and clear, watching DVD's is like watching the movies all over again for the first time. Des - Original Message - From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Libretto libretto@basiclink.com Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 12:58 AM Subject: [LIB] Libretto U100 at Microcenter.com stores Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 12:40:29 -0700 (PDT) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Libretto U100 at Microcenter.com stores Just came back from the microcenter store where they had the Libretto U100 on display for $2000. Notes: 1) The screen doesn't fold 180 degrees back. You'll probably stop around 120 degrees or so. This is a design flaw IMO - this makes it difficult to use the Libretto on your tummy or lap because the screen won't have folded back far enough for you to see the screen straight on (rather, only from slightly angeled and above). 2) The baby runs HOT. Bottom of the Unit is hot to the touch after being on the display counter all day long. Definitely generates a lot of heat, and the bottom (metal) casing will pass a lot of heat to your lap. Not so hot that you can't leave it on your lap wearing pants, but definitely uncomfortable if you try it without. 3) Screen is as bright and as gorgeous as you'd expect. Like the L100/110 screen with antireflective film applied, but even better - more like a regular notebook that has the latest AR film. Contrasty, easy to read, bright. 4) Sadly, screen doesn't go edge-to-edge as far as it should, so it's a bit small for the highest resolution setting. Here, we're talking about MICROPRINT characters if you don't adjust the display properties - so you literally have to put your eyes right up to the display and squint to read the regular 10pt-12pt fonts that are now 4pt on this display. It is easy to zoom in - just press the FN + Spacebar. But remember to turn OFF font smoothing or the zoomed in display will look horrible! When you do finally zoom into 800xwhatever resolution, it's like having the L100/110 again, but because it's not the optimal resolution for the display, a touch fuzzier than normal. You can adjust the overall zoom in display properties - advanced to 150% - this makes everything easier to read, but it won't help with splash screens, prompts, etc. which are still displayed at the usual 3-4pt size. And zoomed to 150%, it also clashes at times with these prompts, so you may not read everything that the prompt has because it is pushed off the window. 5) Definitely looks like a Libretto at first, but with the design and color changes in the casing, it's like a hybrid. Bottom side isn't as elegent as a Sony T series. 6) Button pointer is just plain odd - it's in the right place, but the ring around it makes one wonder what does it do (nothing as far as I can see). And the nub is too short!! Ack! It should be taller like a regular notebook, but it isn't, so it's as if it got worn down to a stub! It is responsive enough however to cross the entire screen quickly. You'll have to use the Windows Extra Large mouse pointer to see it clearly - the default size gets lots very, very easily. 7) Keyboard is different - more clicky, less beveled. And the layout is a bit different vs. the L100/L110 keyboard. As a result, I get more errors and it's harder to adjust to. The keys need a firm press to activate, and a half-press won't get you anywhere. The keys are not beveled, so you can accidentally press two keys at once, and it's a touch harder to touch type on. Backspace key is simply not tall enough - my fingers wish it was twice the height, and I keep missing it . Enter key and backspace keys feel like they're a bit too far to the right for the pinkie finger. 8) Sound is decent, and has an external wheel for the volume. --- Well, in the end, do I like it? It definitely has the workings of a Libretto, and can replace the current L100/L110 models although it's a bit deeper than those earlier models (you may have to buy new cases/carry bags) due to the battery sticking out the back. But the design flaws in the pointer

Haven't had much of a chance to play yet, fired it up, went through the final setup steps for XP home and booted into windows. U100 comes loaded with Norton 2005, Office, some DVD writing software and the finger scanning software. U100 comes with a 60gig drive, noticed that it is already down to 48gigs without me installing a thing. It seems the new Libretto has a restore parition on the drive which you can run a Toshiba utlity to restore the OS and system to a factory state. Seems most new computers these days come with this option, which I guess is nice for the new users if they break anything they can start from scratch again. First thing you notice when booting up one of these babies is the quality of the screen, it is VERY bright and very sharp, once I worked out how to sit the Libretto in the DVD combo drive I fired up Gladiator on the DVD player. U100 makes a very nice portable DVD player, sound quality is not as good as I had expected, although definately much better than the 110CT, is slighty tinnie I guess is the best way to describe this. Although still plenty of clarity and scope to the sound system. Again the screen is very sharp and there is no ghosting affect at all. DVD drive is a little noisy and slow to fire up.When it is spinning the disc up you can notice a quite loud hummm and vibration from the drive. I keep going to reach for the pointer on the side of the screen, however it is located in front of the keyboard as with most laptops. The U100 still features the same style pointing device as the older Librettos, however the little touch circle is quite small, probably the thickness of a pen, however it is quite responsive and a natural progression from the previous models. Overall I am very pleased with the new model, is expensive, probably more than it is actually worth at $2k US, however I can see I am going to get many happy hours of use once I whipe the OS and install XP Pro and my own choice of software.

Are you able to watch them unaltered or do you first convert them? If so, what program do you use? I know this has been discussed here before, but I don't think anyone ever gave a good explanation to it all; If one can watch divx's on the libs. I tried to watch a Divx3 movie before I overclocked, but that was no success at all. And I spend 10 hours each fortnight travelling across the country so I really need something to do I noticed a significant performace increase with the new hard drive, libretto starts up in around 20 seconds i do nothing with the divx's, just download them and watch them, runs fine with mininal hd thrashing. I do have a barebone win98 setup, no av, no crap running in the background. I would advise if you can beg/borrow/steal a newer hard disc from somewhere for testing try it. Regards Des

Some I have been looking at: OQO model 1: www.oqo.com Very small but hardly something you could type on, atleast with the 110CT you can get used to typing with the ends of your fingers. Tiqit www.tiqit.com Again very small but underpowered and seems aimed at PDA type users. Looking forward to hearing more info on the new libretto and lets hope it is not just released in Japan. P.S.
