Mobile Computer has a hands-on look at the Toshiba NB100
The folks at Mobile Computer UK have published their hands-on look at a new pre-production Toshiba NB100 netbook device here on their website. Here are some tidbits from the article:
- A little larger and a little lighter than the Eee PC 901
- 5200mAh battery for about 3.5 hours of usage
- Glossy 8.9 inch display
- keyboard slightly larger than the Eee PC 901
- Available in either Ubuntu Linux or Windows XP Home
- Linux model has 512MB of RAM and 80GB HDD while Windows model has 1GB RAM and 120GB HDD
The NB100 will be available at the end of this month with the Linux model going for £259 inc VAT and the Windows XP model going for £299 inc VAT. They even have a video clip (below):
Toshiba NB110 netbook to hit Japan first
Thanks to CNET’s Crave web site, we’ve got some additional clarity into Toshiba’s first new netbook – the NB110 (which we’ve reported in the past as the NB100). The specs to the NB110 include the following:
- Intel Atom processor (but of course)
- 1GB RAM
- 120GB HDD
- Wi-Fi support
- Bluetooth 2.1 support
- Three USB 2.0 ports
- Windows XP
- Weight of 2.3 lbs
Unfortunately, the NB110 doesn’t appear to be coming to the U.S. anytime soon. A Toshiba rep at Ceatec said the netbook will be available first in Japan at the end of this month for around $660 and then later in Europe and other Asian countries. As for the U.S., the rep stated “The market is just not right yet”. Could he really mean “there are too many competitors right now?”
Toshiba enters the netbook fray with the Satellite NB100
Everyone.. please welcome Toshiba to the netbook parade! The company will finally be entering the netbook market with their new Satellite NB100 system. The NB100 features nearly identical specs as other netbooks out on the market. These include:
- Intel Atom processor
- 1GB RAM
- 120GB HDD
- 8.9 inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- Ethernet
- 0.3 megapixel webcam
- Choice of Linux or Windows XP
The battery life is supposedly 3 hours and 47 minutes (seems very exacting eh?) which makes me believe it’s a 4 cell battery perhaps? The netbook will be coming out in three colors – Cosmic Black, Champagne Gold and Bright Silver with availability sometime in October for a price of £260.
