Toshiba NB200-10Z - 10.1in Netbook video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

Though it's bound by common restrictions, Toshiba has managed to add one or two unique features of its own and delivers in the all the right areas. There's no shortage of good netbooks these days, but the NB200 is definitely one of the best. Read full review

    Our rating:
    9/10

    The best-looking, longest-lasting laptop you can get for under £500?

  2. Samsung RV720

    Our rating:
    9/10

    Want a large laptop without the large outlay? Samsung’s cheap but cheerful 17.3in effort comes highly recommended.

    With Acer's latest 15.6in budget laptop, you get a lot for your money. If you can live with its flaws, it's a great buy.

I own one...one of the cheaper 'black' versions...which is exactly the same in terms of specs, just the physical differences with the reviewed one (including no chiclet keyboard). I owned an Asus EEEpc901 before this, and I have to say this netbook is just about perfect, and highly recommended. 3 negative points - the keyboard on the black version has a lot of keyboard flex and whilst the keys are big and wide and easy to 'hit', the flex is very annoying. Secondly, there is no SSD option. Thirdly, comes with XP and currently you cannot install linux on it and make all the functions work (bluetooth, wireless, f(x) buttons,.. )..(I've tried unsuccessfully with ubuntu NB remix)...but it could be just a matter of time before it becomes compatible I guess.


Oh and I guess lastly, it's a pity that there is so much screen bezel real estate there..they could have fitted a bigger screen to this size bezel!

These G-force sensors are an integral part of the HDD. Toshiba's site calls them a "Free fall sensor" (they've put the space in freefall); Seagate call it "G-Force protection".

The HP 2133 has the same sort of g-force / free-fall sensor to protect the hard drive, and has been out over a year.

@ aeonturnip - just looked at the HP website and 2 reviews of the HP2133 none mention the HDD free-fall protection. Not looked for too long but can't see this feature mentioned anywhere. The HP 2133 has been out for over a year though and TR only gave it 7/10.

Same old...the Asus N10j is nearing 9 months old and is still better specified than any current netbook on the market with HDMI and dedicated graphics!!

@ "Me"- I own a HP 2133 and can confirm that aeonturnip's comment is true. The HP 2133 does have a free fall sensor called the "HP 3D driveguard", which shuts off the HDD if its dropped.

@Ataripower The Asus N10j also costs 50 per cent more than the Toshiba N200, coming perilously close to "real notebook" territory.

I think you will find the HDD free-fall protection only works if stick to Windows OS. If it is similar to my Toshiba Portege - it is utterly useless as it freezes a Power Point presentation so I had to disable it. Similarly I do not trust Toshiba on the expected battery life, using every setting to conserve power I only got a quarter of the claimed time it also overheats badly so it has to be switched off after four hours and Toshiba service is really, really bad.
