Overview
Toshiba is not early to the Netbook party, and its inaugural effort is the slick-looking Toshiba Mini NB205, of which the priceis even lower than a Netbook with an awkward six-cell battery and some of the worst audio.
There are three USB ports, one of which offers the Sleep-and-Charge ability, in which peripherals can be charged even when the netbook is shut down. Otherwise, the VGA-out port, Ethernet port, SD slot, and built-in webcam are all consistent with the rest of the crowd. Internal 3G, like the ones offered by the Mini 1000 and the Aspire One, is not supported.
The NB205 doesn't have an ExpressCard slot like the
Lenovo IdeaPad S10 (Red) or the HP Mini 2140
,and it doesn't have the fancy stuff like a built-in TV tuner, HDMI, or GPS radio (which, coincidentally, are all available with the Dell Inspiron Mini 10).
With a familiar set of components, including an Intel Atom N280 CPU (similar to recent Asus models, and a tiny step up from the N270), 1GB of RAM, Windows XP, and a 160GB 5,400rpm HDD, the NB205 hits all the Netbook marks, but one can find the Acer Aspire One AOD250 for $299 (which does trade down to the N270 CPU), or a longer-lasting, but less awkward, battery in the $398 Asus Eee PC 1005HA.
