Remarkably, Toshiba also managed to keep the weight down to under 2.5-pounds despite the larger battery, giving the Mini NB200, as it's been dubbed, a leg up on the competition when it comes to battery life and portability."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//dht/auto/1240765570.usr10.png" /></em></p><p>Also interesting on this model is a hard disk drive with shock avoidance technology using accelerometers to move the disk heads from the platter when a shock is detected. Except for the fairly weak 0.3 mega-pixel, this looks like a winner. </p>
