  Toshiba’s mini NB205-N310 netbook struck a chord with its snazzy design, comfortable island keyboard, and stellar battery life, but realizing that $50 can make a difference in today’s economy—not to mention the competitive netbook market—the company opted to create a budget version, the $349 mini NB205-N210. While it lacks the silver island-style keyboard, ribbed lid, and Bluetooth of the $399 mini NB205-310, the NB205-N210 has the same internal specs …

  Toshiba’s first consumer-oriented netbook in the United States, the Toshiba mini NB205, promises to be one of the hottest netbooks for 2009. Like most of the low-cost companion PCs available in stores, the mini NB205 helps you stay connected with a simple laptop that easily fits in a purse or backpack. This netbook certainly offers a lot with a nearly full-sized keyboard and touchpad and all-day battery life, but is it the best $400 netbook on the market …

  For a company like Toshiba, the benefit of waiting and watching as it takes in all the buzz being generated in a market like netbooks is that it gets to glean from all the rants about these devices ways to improve upon its own product. Toshiba figured out that a small keyboard isn’t going to cut it, small batteries are a thing of the past, and design is the ultimate differentiator …

  Hang back, plan carefully, and do it right the first time. That seems to be the idea at Toshiba, which has finally entered the netbook market with the $399.99 Mini NB205. Its debut effort is solid but lacks the kind of breakthrough features that make tech writers get up and cheer (and make a netbook stand out in a competitive field). However …

  Toshiba is more than a little late to the Netbook party, and its inaugural effort (at least aimed at U.S. consumers) is the slick-looking Toshiba Mini NB205, but an awkward six-cell battery and some of the worst audio we’ve heard on a Netbook may not justify the now-premium $399 price …

  As if there is a “no PC maker left behind” program running for the Netbook market, Toshiba has finally joined the fray. The Toshiba mini NB205, Toshiba’s first Netbook, makes a statement with its good looks. On the inside, the NB05 is competitive with the second generation Intel Atom N280 processor running at 1.66GHz. The netbook has 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive and a good number of ports as well as built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR …

  Here at Gadget Lab we got a chance to tinker with Toshiba’s Mini NB260 netbook. The verdict? It’s a pretty awesome netbook with excellent battery life (roughly six hours) and zippy performance, but we found the keyboard to be rather awkward. Also, stay away from the pink model: The color’s so vibrant that it makes stuff look purplish on-screen. Check out the video above and our review to get the full picture …

  When Toshiba announced its first netbooks last month, it said that it had waited to start selling inexpensive little notebooks in the U.S. until it felt like it could do them justice. I’ve just spent time using the Mini NB205–which Toshiba likes to call a mini-notebook rather than a netbook–and found that it’s indeed one of the most highly-evolved netbooks to appear to date …
