First thoughts on Toshiba NB200 netbook

Toshiba’s successor to its 8.9-inch NB100 netbook, the 10.1-inch NB200, has garnered mostly positive opinions since its announcement this week. Now, Peter over at Portable Monkey has managed to get his hands on the 10-inch Toshiba NB200 (or Dynabook UX as it is known in Japan) and has similar first impressions.

Excellent build quality seems to come through in several areas. As we saw in the previous NB200 hands-on video, the textured lid comes in for special praise. Comparisons are even made to the luxurious Asus Eee PC S101 netbook.

The NB200 also comes with a metallic silver chiclet keyboard and a large trackpad that maybe one of the best he’s seen on a netbook. It’s good to know that Toshiba has provided access to HDD and RAM too on the bottom panel. Click through for some more pictures after the break.
