The Libretto is a sub-notebook computer line (mini-notebook) designed and produced by Toshiba. It's distinguishing feature is that it was a fully PC compatible computer (unlike PDAs, Pocket PCs, etc. that run Windows CE) that can fit on a palm (it's much smaller than a standard laptop). The first model (the Libretto 20) which was released on 17 April 1996 had a volume of 821 cm3 and weighed just 840 g!
