The Toshiba NB100 offers instant access to the Internet (with built-in Wi-Fi), and can store your music, movies, as well as important office documents while in transit. It weighs a kilogram, has an 8.9-inch screen, and is pre-loaded with Windows XP Home.

Toshiba’s Product Marketing Manager, Justin White said, “When choosing your first PC or considering an additional computer, it’s important to have a mobile PC that fits in with your lifestyle. People effectively store their lives on computers with assignments, work documents, pictures, music and movies and the NB100 will be ideal for this. We have placed great importance on offering the consumer the correct combination of affordability and quality in the NB100.”

The NB100 has a unique ‘diversity antenna’ that automatically adjusts signal reception for optimal connectivity to the Internet, and claims to minimise drop outs and disruption while online.

It also includes three USB 2.0 sleep and charge ports, allowing users to charge up mobile devices, such as MP3 players, mobile phones, PDAs and game consoles, even when the notebook is turned off.

Pricing and Availability

The NB100 is available now with a recommended retail price of $715.
