Updated It's official: Toshiba today formally
launched its entry into the Small, Cheap Computer arena, following Dell's lead
and equipping the Linux version with Ubuntu 8.04.
The NB100 is an 8.9in model - the display resolution is 1024 x 600 - and
powered by Intel's 1.6GHz Atom N270. Depending on the version you choose, it'll
come with 512MB or 1GB of memory and up to 120GB of hard drive capacity.
There's a 0.3-megapixel webcam, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and the usual complement of
USB, VGA, audio and Ethernet ports.
Toshiba's NB100: standard SCC spec Toshiba claimed at battery life of just shy of four hours. It didn't state a
battery capacity, but the pics suggest we're looking at a big, six-cell
pack.
NB100 comes in three different colours: "Cosmic Black", "Champagne Gold" and
"Bright Silver". Don't fancy Linux? Then pick the other OS option, Windows
XP.
The NB100 goes on sale next month. We're still awaiting pricing details -

£260.
