Libretto 20
Description

Launched in 1996, the Libretto 20 was world’s smallest and lightest mini-notebook computer. Mobile computing was beginning to gain mainstream acceptance at the time as an efficient, portable work modality made possible by subnotebooks and mobile information tools (such as personal digital assistants). Expectations were mounting for truly mobile information devices that could fit in a briefcase and were light enough to be carried easily (i.e., under a kilogram) while being easy to use, expandable, and able to run the same software and databases as office computers.
