Technology Tuesday on Empty Streets: Toshiba Mini NB200

Toshiba has finally entered the Netbook market with their version known as the Toshiba NB200.
I have to say that after trying it out myself and it being equipped with the new Atom N280 coupled by a very easy to the fingers type of keyboard (chicklet type - Think of Sony Vaio), is putting this netbook on the my faves list. It even is aethetically designed with an elegant bronze finish guaranteing its user to become a definite head turner. Unfortunately though this has to come with a hefty price tag in competition that of the Asus Magnesium Netbook.
Here are the Specs:
