The NB200-110 (£ 369 inc. VAT) is the second netbook for be released by Toshiba following the lukewarm reception of its first model, the NB100, which has since been abandoned. Fortunately, the NB200 is a much more successful effort and a great netbook in its own right.
Rather than the boxy look unstylish the NB100, the NB200 features a larger, smoother and more eye-catching design. Available in a choice of white, brown or black, features the chassis ribbed plastic on the lid, a matte silver finish on the palmrest and a large metal hinge, false.
At 1.4 kg, the additional size adds little to the overall weight. The slim design and curved edges make it possible to fit easily in your hand luggage. The big 6 cell battery unfortunately exceed 20mm at the rear of the chassis, but it offers an impressive 493 minutes of mobile use.
The keyboard is almost full size with a key-isolating design whereby each key protrudes through an individual hole in the chassis. The keys are large, accessible and move quietly when typing.
The coronation, however, is the stunning 10.1-inch Super-TFT. Surrounded by shiny striped bezel is perhaps the most dynamic netbook screen we've seen. Sharpness, color and contrast are incredibly effective, and images literally pop off the screen.
The NB200 is also well equipped with extras. An integrated camera is located above the screen, and one of the three USB ports using technology Sleep and Charge, allowing you to charge USB powered devices when the netbook is turned off.
In addition, the 160GB hard drive is shock-protected to prevent data damage if you drop the netbook. If this happens, the player detects the movement of free fall and automatically parks the read / write heads of the disk to prevent scratching and damage the disc surface.
Toshiba had a lot to prove with the NB200 and he mostly succeeded. While a battery more discreet and slightly less garish design would have been appreciated, fantastic friendly and gorgeous screen make it a great addition to the netbook market.
