Toshiba is going to release in Mexico its Satellite NB105 netbook PC. Toshiba is entering the netbook market with a low cost ultraportable that apparently goes by the name of the Toshiba Satellite NB105. The NB105 should be available in Mexico by November and should retail for 6000 pesos or less, which is about $560 US. According to at least one report, Toshiba is billing this as a PC that’s capable of being a primary computer, unlike other netbooks. This makes sense as a sales strategy in a country like Mexico where many customers might not be able to afford multiple computers.
Toshiba Mexico features Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom CPU that is widely used in competing products. Backed by 1GB of RAM, the netbook will eschew costly flash drives in favor of a traditional HDD with a 120GB capacity. Other cost-cutting measures include the limited spec, giving users the basics such as Wi-Fi connectivity and an Ethernet LAN controller, but no Bluetooth or 3G connection options. Other features include an SD memory slot, as well as three USB 2.0 ports. All of this is packaged with an 8.9-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution. A webcam will allow for video chats, while Windows XP Home will be the sole interface
