Toshiba NB250
The NB250 is Toshiba’s latest netbook computer showcasing Intel’s N455 Atom processor integrating assistance for top-speed and low-energy-consumption DDR3 RAM. The specs falls using the present trend, and consequently it is up within the higher echelons with regards to netbook pc performance, yet almost just like an additional netbook pc examined lately (such as the Acer Aspire One D260), but other people presently in the marketplace.
While it might be one of the most bleeding-edge options, it’s unfortunately among the least appealing. To pay for to provide the NB250 just like a cheaper choice to its well-liked NB305 model, Toshiba has really scrimped on supplies. This being the situation, it seems instead angular and chunky to appear at and outcomes in a great deal more like an initial-generation netbook pc rather than the latest breed. Most offensive within this vein might be the thick, matt plastic Introduced display surround, that requires up way as well a lot area and extremely encourages Toshiba’s work to cut expenses.
Other unsightly touches range from the squared-off Scrabble-tile important design together with a keyboard format that handles to turn out to be cramped and uncomfortable. This really is despite boasting exactly exactly the same proportions simply because the Aspire One D260, which makes use of the area to extremely effortlessly produce a comfortable typing area.
We’ve by no means been completely happy with Toshiba’s chassis either, which switches into an unpleasant tubular display hinge having a power button sitting down flush within the middle, just beneath the display. To complicate matters, a unusual ladder-motif elevated texture around the back again and wrist relaxation does completely absolutely nothing to enhance its appears. Lastly, the Lithium-ion battery stands happy with the chassis’s rear by a fairly good margin - inside a nutshell, this truly isn't even near to a sleek netbook pc.
Nevertheless, the edition examined right here (the NB250-108) has a six-cell battery. Because the three-cell version (the NB250-107) is barely any less expensive, it will make sense to choose the bigger battery, nevertheless, you certainly pay for this with regards to bulk and type. Guaranteed battery existence has ended 8 hrs and even although it didn’t fairly match this in testing, we’d be assured from it lasting a complete day's office-style use.
I used to be very happy to watch that a button pointer and associated left- and right-click buttons had been big and easy to make use of, though these were extremely noisy under operation, making noisy ‘click clack’ seems whilst shifting Ubuntu ten.04.1. Although this really is okay whilst sitting inside a busy office, it is really an problem inside the much more peaceful setting of your house - buddies and partners certainly won’t appreciate browsing the web about the sofa whilst they’re trying to relax.
Regardless of the unsightly surround, the display available is remarkably great, which is a great deal more similar to what we’d expect in the type of Toshiba. Implementing Brought technologies truly compensated off right here with good as well as backlighting and clean, deep colours. It is certainly not the very very best screen, but we’re extremely relieved that Toshiba didn’t consider any less expensive choices here.

It may be built similar to a bus, nevertheless in most respects the NB250 did carry out extremely well in testing, showing by itself fantastically snappy and responsive on-line, while phrase processing and a lot much more besides. Picture copy was extremely fair which we did not think it is too noisy (bar a button buttons!) or scorching under complete load.
