Toshiba mini NB505 and NB305 netbook comes bundled with Intel Atom N455 processor, EasyGrip Finish

Japanese electronics giant Toshiba Corporation showcased its mini NB505 netbook recently. This happened at an event at the CES 2011. According to Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, Toshiba America Information Systems, Digital Products Division, netbooks are an affordable option that people are increasingly resorting to for casual around-the-house Internet surfing and e-mail. The convenience of using the device also is an important cause of its popularity.

Mr Carl Pinto reinforced that Toshiba’s new best-in-class netbooks are designed keeping in mind consumer needs, in an attempt to yet again exceed customer expectations with better performance, better styling and better convenience-driven features. Thus defining what a companion PC should actually be.
