Toshiba’s NB100 netbook (aka the NB105) may not step outside the box with its spec sheet, but that won’t stop buyers being drawn to the reliable brand name. TechRadar had a brief hands-on with the NB100 recently, and found that while the 120GB available hard-drive space is capacious and the Ubuntu OS smooth with its 512MB of RAM, the keyboard was smaller than on rival machines.
Toshiba’s NB105 netbook – which the company has told us is intended for Latin America only – has made the obligatory appearance on YouTube. Apparently filmed by a Romanian user, it demonstrates not only a brief port overview but shows the full start-up to the Windows XP desktop.

Toshiba is no stranger to compact notebooks – its long-standing Libretto series is evidence of that – but the company has waited a while before unveiling a budget netbook. Now the first details of such a device are emerging, the NB105, based as usual on Intel’s single-core N270 1.6GHz Atom processor. Update: It’s not coming to the US; details after the cut.
