Review Toshiba AC100 MID/Netbook (Android)

 

Mobile phone in netbook size. ...or is it a netbook with mobile p ...

Very light ; Robust ; Long battery life. ; Silent ; No perceptible heat development ; Apt supplies ; Good keyboard ; HDMI ; Video rendering absoutely smooth up to 720p

Mass memory of only 8 GB ; No access on Android market ; Camangi market equipped only very scantily with about 100 Apps. ; Reflective, contrast poor display with poor brightness ; No Bluetooth ; No touch display ; No UMTS in test model ; No telephone...

That the AC100 doesn't have access to the Android market and the alternative Camangi market is equipped extremely barren

Toshiba AC100 Review

 

Companion devices come in all shapes and sizes, from big-screen smartphones through tablets to netbooks and ultraportables, but Toshiba is hoping that by borrowing a little of each they'll find a gap in the market. The Toshiba AC100 looks like a...

Toshiba AC100 Review

 

The Toshiba A100 is the world's first smartbook, or more precisely, the first smartbook to see a worldwide release. Earlier this year we did see HP release the Compaq AirLife 100 but that has only seen a release in Spain as far as I know. We've been...

Superior weight and size ; Silent ; Low heat ; Robust, ideal for mobility (no moving parts) ; Superior battery life ; Comfortable keyboard

Android 2.1 in this form factor is not fit for consumers (unusable for any type of work) ; Poor selection of apps out there, esp for this form factor ; No Flash support ; Hardware issue – massive battery drain ; Glossy screen + low-ish brightness, hard...

The Toshiba AC100 gives us a taste of what to expect from smartbooks – super slim and light with battery life to spare but fails to deliver on some other expected features and things we take for granted. It is clearly not ready for mass consumption;...

Toshiba AC100 Smartbook Reviewed, Full Experience Lacking

 

The review shows us again how sexy the Toshiba AC100 smartbook really is, helped by how incredibly thin and light it is and it is amazing to actually hold in your hand. Ergonomics prove to be very good with a big keyboard and trackpad. With Tegra 2 on...

Toshiba AC100

 

Toshiba's 10-inch Android smartbook has a 10 hour battery life and plays 1080p video flawlessly. Can it replace the netbook?

Impressive battery life, Very slim, 1080p video playback

No Adobe Flash support, Cluttered layout, Unattractive

Toshiba AC100 review

 

Can Tosh's Android-powered netbook do enough to convince us?

Weight and tiny form factor ; Battery life ; Screen ; Keyboard ; Nvidia Tegra

Unintuitive use of Android ; Missing Market app store ; Some might not like the waspish look ; No multigesture touchpad ; Missing Flash

There's no denying that over the last couple of years we've witnessed a shift in the tech landscape. There's been the rise of the iPhone, the birth of the netbook, introduction of Android and, most recently, the coming of the tablet.

Toshiba AC100

 

The Toshiba AC100 is an impractical curio that no one should spend their money on.

Thin, light, excellent build quality and looks great

then you try to use it

The AC100 is an impractical curio that no one should spend their money on. We respect Toshiba's tenacity for hacking out a new path to regions unknown, but it was so busy hacking it walked straight over a cliff and Wile E. Coyote-style looked down when...
