What is it:
Atom-powered netbook with 8.9-inch screen

Typical price:
£280 - £315

We like:
Attractive glossy finish on lid; good screen

We don't like:
Plasticky feel; small keyboard; no Bluetooth

The judgement:
The Toshiba NB100 has its good points, such as its impressive TruBrite display and good battery life, but the cramped keyboard and lack of Bluetooth support are big letdowns
