“Our research shows that people want the same level of functionality and useability in their mobile notebooks as they have in the home,” says Justin White, Product Marketing Manager, Toshiba Information Systems Division.
“The NB200 is very versatile allowing you to share photos with friends, write reports, or imply e-mail and browse the web anytime.”
Following on from the NB100, the NB200 has a range of new features. Weighing only 1.18 kg with a 3 cell battery, the NB 200 has a 10.1” widescreen LED backlight display and a full 19mm pitch keyboard (desktop standard) for easy typing. The NB200 also comes bundled with Face Recognition software offering an easy and fun way to log on.
Powered by a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom Processor N280, the NB200 also has a Mobile Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset. This allows users to browse the web, e-mail, run basic applications and access movies, songs and photos.
Battery life is reported to be 3.5 hours with a 3-cell battery or up to nine hours with a long life 6-cell battery. There is also a Bluetooth interface on selected models and three USB 2.0 slots, including Sleep-and-Charge.
Bumps and knocks are cushioned with a 3D-accelerometer monitoring system which can detect free falls, shocks or vibrations. It rapidly moves the HDD head from between the platters protecting valuable data stored on the high capacity (up to 160GB) HDD.
The NB200 series comes in a range of colours including high gloss black, arctic white & silver, indigo-silver and in the near future, a textured matt copper finish.
The NB200 series ranges from $799 to $949 depending on product specifications.
