Toshiba NB100-11R
A superb choice of operating system and great-looking 8.9in screen, but the price needs to drop for Toshiba`s first netbook to make a big impression. Just like Dell with its Inspiron Mini 9, Toshiba has eased into the netbook fray with an 8.9in affair. Rather than offering a radical design, integrating 3G or supplying stunning specs, it`s pinning its early hopes on reputation - a "netbook from a brand you can trust" is its non-too subtle tagline. We`re certainly big fans of its choice of operating system. Though you can choose a version of the NB100 with Windows XP (look out for part code NB100-12A) for an extra £50 or so, the Ubuntu "Netbook Remix" OS in its Linux version (part code NB100-11R) is the best we`ve seen.

The NB100 is a little overpriced, but it is a solid little unit with Sleep-and-Charge USB ports, which are very convenient while travelling. It could use more RAM and a solid-state drive; a version with Linux installed would be pretty sweet, too. Toshiba`s NB100 is a Windows XP–based, 1kg netbook that is a little over-priced but well built and with some good functionality. It`s one of the best options on the market for travellers; users who want a portable unit to watch videos and listen to music while on the move will definitely appreciate it. Like most recent netbooks, the NB100 is based on Intel`s Atom N270 CPU, which runs at 1.6GHz and is Hyper-Threaded. It has only 1GB of RAM (it has a 1GB So-DIMM installed) and integrated graphics, but it was very responsive when it came to launching programs and navigating Windows menus. It recorded a time of 8min 10sec while encoding 53min worth of WAV files to 192Kbps MP3s, which is five seconds slower than the Lenovo IdeaPad S10, but it actually felt more responsive than that unit.

CNET Editors` Review (Toshiba NB100)
While others manufacturers wasted no time in jumping on the netbook bandwagon, Toshiba has taken an absolute age to get its own Intel Atom-powered machine on the market. But, with the NB100, has Toshiba learned from the mistakes of others or simply repeated the sins of the past? The NB100 is an also-ran in the netbook race, offering nothing that makes it stand out from the pack

Toshiba NB100-128 Review
It`s difficult to think of a single major notebook manufacturer who hasn`t also brought out a netbook by now. Unfortunately, in their haste to get on the mini-mobile-PC bandwagon, many of them have sacrificed considerations like ergonomics. Initially, it would appear Toshiba`s NB100 netbook is yet another casualty of this trend, but let`s find out how it actually holds up in this and other regards. Toshiba`s NB100-128 is a small, light and fairly rugged netbook which runs very quietly. But despite getting more out its four-cell battery than most, it can`t keep up with six-cell netbooks in the battery life stakes, looks dull once opened up and its awful keyboard combined with a below-par touchpad means using it might be more pain than pleasure. A higher price than the competition doesn`t do it any favours either.

Toshiba NB100 netbook
Toshiba`s office-serious design doesn`t impress, but the battery life does. There are netbooks that have a curvy, kid-friendly look. Others are sleek and shiny - every one aimed at adults. Then there are blocky, serious looking ones, carved with no concession to consumer levity and fluff because the manufacturer reckons that`s what businesspeople want. The box-like Toshiba NB100 falls squarely - in both senses of the word - into the latter camp. There`s a nod to designeriness: the silvery-bronze "champagne gold" plastic that edges around the main body of the machine curves at the sides, but that`s it`s only concession to modern styling and other such frippery.
