Toshiba is making what many will argue is the best netbook available today. The Toshiba NB255 netbook has one of the best keyboard and battery sipping designs on the market.
The Toshiba netbook boasts an Intel Atom N455 processor and NM10 Express chipset with a six-cell battery for up to 8.3 hours of battery power, you’ll be able to go through an entire day of school, work or errands without worrying about a recharge. The battery pack is neatly hidden under the casing of the netbook to preserve its sleek, ergonomic design.
The Toshiba NB255 also features a USB Sleep-and-Charge port, which allows external USB devices such as mobile phones and personal media players to charge from the netbook even when it is turned off. Other features include an integrated webcam and a mono speaker.

What makes the Toshiba NB255 one of the best netbooks available is its rechargeable lithium-ion battery which provides almost 9 hours of battery life. Actual user testimony confirms that this netbook will last close to this number in battery sipping mode. The 6 cell battery is well designed into the laptop case.
Users also rave about its keyboard and solid construction. The Toshiba netbook may be the “easiest to type on” netbook available. Some users actually prefer it to their full size laptop computer keyboard.
Customer Reviews
I chose this laptop for the price and the keyboard. The latter is one of the few keyboards where the keyboard is “almost” as good as a full keyboard, and allows me to type fast and efficiently with adequate response. I haven’t tested battery life very thoroughly but suppose it to be in the average of 6 hours or so when used vigorously.
This little computer is really fast, faster than my office computer, faster than any other laptop todate….the pine processor is really satisfactory, There are more than enough USB ports and most of the time at home I hook it up to a widescreen monitor which looks good.
I think this is a fantastic netbook. I played with several others but they all felt very cheap to me and their keyboards especially felt like toys. The Toshiba definitely is a smaller keyboard so is not as nice to type on as a full-sized laptop keyboard, but it is the best I saw on a netbook and is very usable with a little getting used to. I bought this Toshiba for my mom who loves it.
The Toshiba NB255 Netbook is available in black onyx, posh pink, sable brown, and royal blue colors. Its build quality is excellent. This netbook comes with Windows 7 operating system.
