Toshiba has readied a smartbook called the Toshiba AC100 which has been made to run Android 2.1 OS. And its specialty is to be able to wake up from standby mode in less than a second.
The Toshiba AC100 comes in a regular netbook form factor that packs a 10.1-inch screen and it packs Internet connectivity that allows you to edit emails, documents and other messages.
The other impressive feature is its battery life which can last for up to 7 days while it’s in standby mode. But it’s able to provide 8 hours of usage after a single charge, which still sounds impressive for a netbook. The features at a glance of this Toshiba AC100 are as follows:
· AndroidTM2.1
· RAM: 512 MB DDR2 (333 MHz)
· up to 32GB SSD
· 25.7cm (10.1”) TruBrite® display with LED backlight, 1,024 x 600 pixels
