Press Release:
The new Toshiba Mini NB200 notebook – the stylish, personal mobile companion
All new contemporary design features tiled keyboard and extra long battery life
London, UK, 22 April 2009 – Toshiba Computer Systems today announced a new addition to its mini-notebook range with the launch of the new Mini NB200 – a portable, highly stylish 10.1” laptop
perfectly designed to fit the modern digital lifestyle.
The Mini NB200 is the perfect device for consumers looking for a stylish and reliable PC. A selection of models are available, with consumers able to take their pick from a 1.6GHz Intel® Atom® Processor N270, or the new, more powerful Intel® N280 Atom® Processor, offering a clock speed of 1.66GHz. Both models also feature the Intel® 945GSE graphics chipset, and offer more than enough power for browsing the internet, emailing, running basic PC applications and enjoying digital media – currently the four most popular uses for mini notebooks.
A Truly Modern Design With Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition as standard, the Mini NB200 offers a new ultra thin platform with a striking new design, with a unique textured cover to appeal to the most style-conscious of consumers. The new, near full-size keyboard on the Mini NB200 is available with a new ‘tiled’ layout to offer cleaner look and feel.
A total of four colour options will also be available, in shades of brown, black, white and pink1 guaranteeing a design to suit any taste.
The Mini NB200 comes with a 10.1” widescreen TruBrite LED backlight display (1024×600) providing richer colours and clearer definition – perfect for browsing the internet. A standard three cell Pink edition available from Q3 2009 battery offers life of up to four hours, while an upgraded nine cell variation delivers up to nine hours life from a single charge – providing maximum working flexibility when operating away from the mains.
HDD protection Integrated Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage of 160GB ensures that users have extensive storage space available for multimedia content and personal documents. While the highly portable nature of mini notebooks exposes them to the knocks and bumps that are an inevitable feature of life on the move, the Mini NB200 features a 3D- accelerometer monitoring system that detects freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated HDD to secure against the loss
of any personal data.
An integrated 0.3MP webcam provides a portable option for online video and teleconferencing, while connectivity including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) allows users to easily connect to the internet on the move. Three integrated USB 2.0 slots are also included, providing the ability to plug into any number of external peripherals.
One of the three USB ports also features Toshiba’s innovative Sleep-and-Charge technology, allowing users to charge mobile phones and personal media players, even when the mini NB200 is turned off.
As a responsible global corporate citizen, Toshiba ensures that all laptops are RoHS-compliant, effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances. The new Toshiba mini NB200 is ENERGY STAR® 5.0 ready2.
The Mini NB200 is available from May 2009, with prices starting from £319.
