Home > Netbook By Brand > Toshiba NetbookToshiba NetbookUpdate Looking to buy a Toshiba netbook? We're here to help. Although Asus netbooks are at or near the top netbook models in our mind, Toshiba are a pretty close second. Certainly people love the Toshiba netbook computers. Perhaps the people's choice netbook. There are a few things to comment on and ultimately it's your decision if they are deal breaker or not. One feature that puts the Toshiba netbook above most others is the sleep and charge USB ports. Never heard of that? Well if you have a device that needs charging and can hook up to a USB port, then the Toshiba netbook can charge the device even when the netbook is powered off. Our biggest complaint with the Toshiba NB505 and the Toshiba NB305 is that they don't have stereo speakers. They have a single mono speaker. A big deal to you? Perhaps not. It's worth mentioning here because most netbook shoppers will NOT be aware of this shortcoming. You certainly won't find many if any Toshiba netbook reviews which mention that the NB505 and NB305 have a single speaker. It's 2011 and one speaker seems very 1940's to us. If you live outside of the United States you can get a few other Toshiba netbook models. In Canada and Europe are a couple areas you can get these. These Toshiba netbook models come with nice Harmon/Kardon stereo speakers which are on the palm rest areas of the Toshiba netbook. These Toshiba netbook models are the Toshiba NB550D, Toshiba NB520, Toshiba NB555D and the NB505.
The difference between these Toshiba netbook models is that the NB550D comes with an AMD C-50 processor, the NB555D comes with an AMD C-30 processor and the NB505 comes with a dual core Atom N550 processor. Now there is the Toshiba NB520 which came with the Atom N550 Atom dual core processor but now ships with an update Atom N570 dual core processor. Got that straight? A bit confusing certainly! Current Toshiba Netbook Models: Toshiba NB505 also known as Toshiba NB500 Future Toshiba Netbook Models (unofficial): Toshiba NB605 (the next Toshiba netbook models most likely coming in 2012) Toshiba NB305 - Toshiba Netbook
Toshiba NB550D - Toshiba Netbook (not available in United States) We like the fact that the Toshiba NB550D comes with stereo speakers. Harman Kardon speakers! We think all the Toshiba netbook computers should come with 2 speakers but are we just fussy? Sadly if you live in the United States, you can't buy this netbook. Nope sorry. It comes with the AMD Fusion C-50 processor, AMD Radeon HD 6250M, 250GB, 1024x600, 3.5mm headphone jack, Ethernet, HDMI, Microphone, USB 2.0.
