Toshiba is NB200 with 5 versions with different configurations: NB200-10G, NB200-11L, NB200-11H, NB200-110 and NB200-10Z. This is also one of the high-priced netbooks on the market. In Vietnam, genuine NB200 costs about 519 USD (9 million VND, not including VAT) and has 4 colors, brown, blue, white and pink.

Compared to the "elder" NB100, NB200 has a beautiful and slimmer design, the body thickness is only 25 mm. The case is attractive with glossy brown color and soft with diagonal lines. Inside is the frame and the silver keyboard spread out. Still using chiclet keyboard but Toshiba has stylized in the slightly smaller "tab" and "caps lock" layout. So the keyboard of the device will be more comfortable and the distance between keys is also wider. The NB200 has the largest touchpad (touchpad) of all netbooks, the bottom two separate and very sensitive mouse buttons.

NB200's screen is 10.1-inch LED backlit LCD screen (1,024 x 600 pixels). Although this resolution is not as high compared to other new netbooks such as the Aspire One 751 (11.6-inch screen, 1,366 x 768), but the image is very bright and sharp, the characters display clearly. The image is better with a glossy mirror, but it is easy to reflect and cause glare when using the camera in a place that is too bright.

Tosshiba NB200 is fully equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, but only a traditional VGA output port is connected to the external monitor. It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, in which one port (on the left side of the device) can be set up to charge other devices such as mobile phones or MP3 players even when the phone is turned off. This is a very useful feature that is increasingly being exploited by many companies.

Like most popular netbooks, the NB200 runs Windows XP, with 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB hard drive. Another outstanding feature used by Toshiba in NB200 is the "smart" hard drive. With a sensor that detects abnormal movements such as the case of a machine drop, this sensor will help stop the hard drive's recording heads to ensure safe data.

With an 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 processor, the performance is only slightly better than that of Atom N270 models. NB200 can view videos smoothly from BBC iPlayer service in full screen mode (full screen) and perform other basic tasks well.

The weakness of netbooks has not been overcome in this version. The ability to handle 3D graphics at NB200 is very limited. The 3DMark06 test results of the device reached 92 points, within the standard range of netbook models.

The battery life of the NB200 is impressive with Battery Eater test results at 5 hours 12 minutes, and in fact, when multitasking basic applications like web surfing over Wi-Fi, text editing with Microsoft Office Alternately listening to music, and watching videos, the NB200 can operate continuously for 4 hours with a full charge of the battery.
