Toshiba waited for a while before entering the netbook market and according to a review on Laptop Magazine, the company must have spent the extra time figuring out how to get 8.5 hours on a single charge of the 6-cell battery. The Toshiba mini NB205 looks to be a very nice netbook with a good keyboard, great trackpad and that battery life, which puts it at the top of the class.
The design of the Toshiba definitely looks first-rate and the aesthetics are very nice. It has all of the components one expects from a good netbook with the Atom processor, as well as a unique metal keyboard option. Laptop Magazine is very impressed with the Toshiba, and for good reason. The $399 is typical for the genre and it looks like the Toshiba may be the netbook to beat for now. The reviewer gave it the Laptop Magazine Editors’ Choice.
