    I'm in the market for a mini-laptop, which I can use on the move, on sites etc for web/email access but also has a decent size screen for viewing project photos with clients etc. I'm done with HP Tornados etc and all the hassle that goes with such products, looking for any useful comment/user feedback on this product.

    This caught my eye today, the offer is:

    Intel Atom N270 Processor
    8.9" Trubrite TFT Screen
    120GB HD, 1024 RAM
    LAN/W-LAN b/g
    Web camera
    MS XP Home
    1 yr warranty

    Price: € 399 (incl VAT).

    Thanks

    Samsung nc10 would probably suit the bill better. Larger 10.2" screen which is a nice compromise, and it's got a 160Gb drive. The processor and RAM are the same as the above. The samsung also has ~7 hour battery life, not too sure what the battery life on that toshiba is.

    Thanks Alanstrainer,

    just been reading the thread on the nc10, agree with your reccie. Will order from Elara and better price than the Tosh.

    Cheers

    Have the NB100, running Ubuntu with1GB Ram. Got it to experiment with a different OS and for travel.

    Battery life with WiFi on and surfing - approx 3 hours
    Processor - seems OK but can't comment on it running XP
    Speakers - mediocre
    Screen - decent
    Keyboard - a little too small, need very accurate keystrokes
    Touchpad - annoying as if you have a finger resting on the left button its very easy to touch the pad and send the pointer in a totally different direction
    Finish - nice but glossy black lid shows grubby prints and is easily scratched.
    Charger - why is it the same size as a standard laptop?????

    Overall its OK, Wouldn't rush to buy another one. Got a deal on this one and wanted to experiment. So give the samsung a shot, as the Tosh is satisfactory in my opinion
