Toshiba Launches Ultra-Light Laptop June 17, 2008... Toshiba’s Digital Products Division has introduced what it claims is the world’s lightest laptop. Its biggest innovation is the 128 GB solid state drive, which weighs much less than conventional hard drives. Another important innovation that didn’t hurt in terms of its size is that it is backlit with LEDs. The company says that it offers the world’s first widescreen 12.1-inch transreflective LED backlit display, Conventional LCD monitors are difficult to read because of the glare in direct sunlight. However, Toshiba says that the new laptop has what it calls a transreflective screen that lets the sun’s light pass through. Then the light is reflected out to bring the images to life so users can switch off the LED backlighting while outdoors. See the Current Industry News Summary
