On the other hand, the netbook has 802.11 b/g/n WLAN as well as Bluetooth 3.0 +HS, so it is well-equipped for wireless communication. The netbook’s wired connectivity does not conform to the latest Gigabit standard, with a 10/100 Mbit Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller. The relatively large access panel on the underside of the base unit is a pleasant surprise, allowing you to change the RAM or hard drive in minutes.
The netbook’s dimensions of 262 x 190 x 16.6 - 35.5 mm, and its weight of around 1.27 kg including the six-cell battery which it comes with, are within the normal range for a netbook with a 10-inch display. Why Toshiba decided to make the screen bezel glossy, despite the rest of the case being matt, is a mystery, as the glossy surface has a tendency to pick up dust and scratches. The hinges stick out from the back of the lid and hold it firmly in place, though we did notice some wobbling of the lid. The keyboard flexes only in the central region. Other than that it is a very straightforward, uncomplicated design, tapering towards the front for ease of use. Though the case is mostly black, the netbook still manages to stand out from the crowd the rubberized surface of the lid comes in either metallic brown, metallic lime-green or metallic orange, depending on your taste. It does seem like the upper part of the screen bezel is a little oversized as a result of the large palm rest. The non-slip, rubberized surfaces below the keyboard and in the region of the lid are an unusual feature as well as having a nice feel to them, these guard successfully against scratches and a build-up of dirt or dust. The matt plastic surfaces have a high-quality look, and the overall workmanship is convincing. The Toshiba NB550D’s casing is based extensively on that of the NB500, other than the speakers in the palm rest. The netbook is out now, priced at €349 (RRP) including tax. We examine the Toshiba NB550D’s best and worst features, particularly the Ontario Fusion APU from AMD. The most immediate downside to this netbook seems to be the glossy screen, with a diagonal measuring 25.7 cm (10.1 inches). The hardware set-up also includes 1 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, widely viewed as standard. With a speed of 1 GHz, the dual-core entry-level APU is nominally weaker than its opposite number from Intel, but the DirectX 11 graphics unit is there to provide acceptable 3D performance as well as HD acceleration. In keeping with the Toshiba NB550D’s multimedia focus, it comes equipped with the new AMD C-50 Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) along with an integrated AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics unit. However, the NB520 comes without HDMI, providing only a VGA port for video output. Alongside the NB550D, the top model with high-quality Harman Kardon speakers and an HDMI port, there is also the NB520 with the latest Intel Atom N550 dual-core processor. Back at the beginning of December 2010, Toshiba announced several new products in its netbook portfolio.
