"At first glance, it would seem that there’s very little a manufacturer can do these days to make its 10-inch netbook stand out from the hordes of others on the market. Yet, despite being more than a year late to the game in North America, Toshiba’s mini NB205 does just that. It has created a netbook that, while housing a standard Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and Microsoft Windows XP Home, manages to break the mold. With a beautiful chassis, a spacious keyboard and touchpad, an exemplary 8.5 hours of battery life, and a competitive $399 price tag, Toshiba’s netbook rises above the competition."

That keyboard is pretty slick looking.  Looks like something I'd expect on a Mac netbook.  I think some of the other design features are love it or hate it.  While I like the idea of a textured lid, I think they could have gotten a little more creative than essentially a corduroy pattern.

The netbook market is huge. There are so many great choices out there! When my ol' P3 12" laptop dies (Which hopefully isn't soon!), I'm going to have lots of fun shopping for a netbook!
