It's Toshiba's turn to get in on the netbook action. How many does that make it now? A few hundred, thousands perhaps? OK, not that many, but the competition's getting ridiculous. Joining Medion, Advent, Asus, HP, LG and a load of other brands trying to cash in on the netbook market, it's Toshiba, attempting to wow us with the NB100 and hopefully make us ooh and ahh a lot too.
It's an 8.9-incher, powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, in either Ubuntu Linux or XP Home Edition flavours. The little laptop packs a hard drive of 120GB and up to 1GB RAM, WiFi and an ethernet port. There's also three USB ports for you to fully utilise, that will keep charging your gadgets and gizmos when the NB100 is in sleep mode thanks to Toshiba's sleep-and-charge technology. Add all that to a webcam, 1024 x 600 resolution with LED backlighting, a specifically stated three hours and 47 minutes battery life, and the £260 price tag sounds like a good buy.
Toshiba is hoping their netbook's "high build quality" and "premium features" will set it apart from the majority of the netbook bunch. Tell us what you think below.
It's available in a variety of interestingly named colours - cosmic black, champagne gold or bright silver (so black, gold and silver) and you can get your hands on one come October.
