Toshiba Mini NB305 netbook
The Toshiba Mini comparison – we are looking at the old favourite Toshiba NB200 and comparing it with the new pine-trail equipped Toshiba NB300 and its close sibling the Toshiba NB305.
The NB200 has always been famed for its huge battery life and so has been especially popular with mobile workers and those who travel a lot. With the greater energy efficiency offered by the Intel Atom N450 processor, the Toshiba NB300 and NB305 can get even more juice out of their batteries and so battery life has gone up from an already impressive figure.
The newer models also provide Draft N wireless and bluetooth, and at a reasonable price, which means that the Toshiba NB300 and NB305 should be looked on as favourably by reviewers and the general public alike. The Toshiba NB200 is still available to purchase and it is possible to pick up a bargain with Laptops Direct offering Grade A1 models for just £200.
So three netbooks all with excellent battery life, how else do these Toshiba netbooks compare?
