My school does a ne tbook scheme where every pupil gets a net book. My year group were given the Toshiba NB500 in black. At first I was very happy with the net book but over time things started to go wrong. At first look the net book looks OK. It has a matte dimpled lid which feels quite flimsy. I would say it does have a very good keyboard for a net book and a nice clear glossy screen but they would have to be the only good things about the net book.

Traveling around the world I needed a small footprint laptop. The nb100 came to mind because of its price and size. I checked a lot of other machines but liked the keyboard and the touch pad which wasn't bad.
