| ye9chen's Full Review: Toshiba Libretto 100CT (PA1254U-T2N) PC Notebook |
I won't mind preaching Libretto. Libretto is a way of life, you can't go back to bigger notebooks. I have a friend who have 2.5 pound 10" "lite" notebook, she never carry the labtop out as much as I do. Granded there are better keybroad out there, but they simply can't make a smaller i386 notebook. The newer libretto (1100) have to scale back basically because they can't put a hot intel chip in smaller package.

This hotkey app increase my productivity for at lease 50%-70%. Now I occationally use the mouse when surfing the web, otherwise I never use the mouse, which is not a very fast one. (You have to use both your thumb and index finder to move mouse. If I design a new libby, I'll put two mouse in it, one additional in the front/battery position)
Since the win key is small and in the back, I hotkey everything. This app can use shift, ctrl, alt, win AND any combination of them. better yet, it can execute multiple command. The most impotant thing is though, it never ever ever ever ever crash on me, which is essential for app you use on the system tray. It's free and the delphi source code comes with it.
When you get your libretto, first bind you "insert" key for internet dial up or whatever, then disable CAPS LOCK with this app. I bind "Back" with alt+` much easier to hit then alt+left In case you forget, you can execute "back" in with alt, G, B one by one. Hotkey can't send keystrike alt+left at the same time, as far as I know. If you crazy like me, bind the \ key to tap, that way you have tap and enter next to each other. ( I bind win+\ back to the real \)
If you have a better shortcut app, post a reply. I tried every freeware, they all suck big time compare to this one. litestep's hotkey is pretty bad too.
Oh yeah you can't go wrong with the wide screen (800X480), libretto 1100 sadly go back to 640X480. Running at 800X600 and limiting the useful space on the upper pact of 800X480 with litestep will nicely dump all you pay-for-surf, netzero banner into the invisible part of the lower (800X120) space, very slick. I'm think painting my dear libby with some impressionism work, I feel her gray personality pervent me to get closer to her. :)
