Toshiba NB205 Netbook Reviewed

Toshiba NB205 is available from OnSale for $408.99.

Toshiba has launched the NB205 netbook PC in the US market and LaptopMag has had a in depth look at the device. The NB205 is boosted by Intel’s Atom N280 1.66GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 160GB hard drive. It has a 10.1-inch 1024×600 netbook and supports WiFi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.1.

LaptopMag’s comments:

In creating its first netbook for the U.S., Toshiba has learned from the mistakes and successes of its rivals, and one-upped them all. Its mini NB205 has everything we’d recommend in a netbook: an attractive chassis, comfortable keyboard and touchpad, and more than eight hours of battery life for an affordable price. While Samsung’s N110 and ASUS’ Eee PC 1000HE continue to be good choices, Toshiba’s $399 mini NB205 provides an all-around solid package, and longer endurance than the competition.

Pros

• Unique design
• 8.5 hours of battery life
• Comfortable keyboard and large touchpad
• Hard drive protection
• USB port charges device when system is off

Cons

• Large display bezel
• Long boot time
