Toshiba mini NB250 a new entrant in the netbook class
Toshiba have introduced a new model to its netbook range: the Toshiba mini NB250. The 25.7cm (10.1'') mini NB250 is designed to be as easy on the budget as it is to carry and to use. It offers all the essentials users need for basic computing around the house or out and about.
The mini NB250 will be available during summer 2010 throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa. Toshiba also announces the refresh of its highly regarded mini NB305, that now will also feature the latest Intel Atom processor.
The black mini NB250 is enhanced with an engraved pattern on the palmrest, and features Intel’s latest Atom CPU. It comes with a screen size of 25.7cm (10.1''), a size of 263mm x 192mm, a thickness of only 25.4mm at the front, and a light weight of 1.3 kg. These features make the mini NB250 a great travel-friendly computing device for users who require basic computing applications and mainly use their netbook as a secondary portable device. The battery life of the 6 cell battery is up to 8.5 hours and allows users to go through a long day without need to recharge their netbook.
The mini NB250’s small size doesn’t compromise its usability: the netbook has a full-size keyboard and a large touchpad to comfortably type text and navigate through menus and pages. The mini NB250 also comes equipped with an application suite exclusive to Toshiba labtops, Toshiba Life Space featuring the project organisation tool Bulletin Board and the graphical document search and indexing application ReelTime.
Update for mini NB305
Toshiba has also updated its well established mini NB305 netbook. The 25.7cm (10.1'') model will also now feature the latest Intel Atom N455 CPU. The mini NB305 has a unique and attractive Mocha Brown or Snow White 3D textured cover design with a matt finish that is both visually and physically appealing. The mini NB305 runs for up to 11 hours with a single charge of the 6 cell high capacity battery and offers high-end features such as a 3D impact sensor to protect data stored on the HDD.
Sustainable and eco-friendly
As a responsible global corporate citizen, Toshiba ensures that all laptops are fully compliant with European WEEE and RoHS directives, effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances. The new mini NB250 and the mini NB305 are ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualified.
