Toshiba mini NB205 belongs to ODC Category
Toshiba Mini NB205
Latest from Laptop Mag, the Toshiba NB205 is topping the list of most recommended netbooks, as it boast the best chassis design so far and longest battery life at 8.5 hrs, all day internet usage with WiFi on. That’s what you call One Day Computing (ODC). Though Asus EEE PC 1000HE claims 9.5 hrs, based on my 2 weeks usage of my 1000HE, it could only last around 8 hrs.
The Toshiba NB205 also has a 10.1 inches screen and packs the same specs under the hood as with competing netbooks. Intel Atom N280, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD. So the competing factor of this device should be the design and battery life.
