Strengths: Quick start up and shut down, and Shock-absorbing hard Disk

Weaknesses: Tough ejection of SD card and power-position on button

Toshiba NB200 N280 is the first laptop with Intel Atom N280 processor that quite faster in starting up and shutting down the computer. Toshiba NB200 features 1 GB RAM and also a 160 GB shock absorbing SATA hard disk. It is definitely good to have a hard disk that features this shock absorber. The shock absorbing system protects the hard disk in the time of moving or whenever you drop it. A lot of laptops omit this great feature to cut down the manufacturing cost.

Toshiba NB200 has a quite interesting design. The design on the casing is pretty simple and the same time good looking. This model of Toshiba comes in Pink, Blue, Brown and White. Its weight is approximately 1.18 kg. It is a bit bigger than other notebooks but weighs almost the same. Because of the larger frame around the screen, the 10.1 inch laptop screen look smaller. Even people can think that it’s about 8 or 9 inch screen in a first look.

Toshiba NB200 N280 comes with some very interesting features that include a 3 USB port, SD card reader, Ethernet port, mic jack, VGA port, and earphone jack. Buying a notebook with 3 USB port can be a great idea for any sophisticated buyer.

The keyboard of Toshiba NB200 N280 is not very comfortable to type with. If you see the spec, then you may think that it is a full sized keyboard, but I it is not at all a full sized keyboard. The basic problems with the keys are that these are smaller because of its tiled style and more spaces between the keys. It takes a bit more time than a usual keyboard take to type. The good thing is that the touchpad is wider for a laptop and touchpad buttons are also generous in size.
