Cons: Gigantic Toshiba logo on the back will annoy some, Glowing power button in the middle of the hinge may distract, Notification LEDs on the lip can't be seen when using the laptop

Verdict: Another day, another netbook. Toshiba's NB200 is a good one. We just wish the platform would evolve already.
