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."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1245284004.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>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. </p>
