Toshiba has added a netbook to its range.

Netbooks, or mini-notebooks as they are sometimes called, are becoming increasingly popular because they are so portable; Asus and Acer already have models on the market.

The Toshiba NB100 has an 8.9in widescreen and LED backlighting, which is said to conserve energy. It also comes with a low-power Intel Atom processor for longer battery life.

People can choose from Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, which comes with Microsoft Works 8.5, or Linux Ubuntu 8.04, which is preconfigured with Openoffice 2.4. Both have 1GB of memory and 120GB of storage for saving files and documents.

The netbook has a Wifi connection and also an Ethernet port and a 0.3-megapixel webcam.

There are three USB ports and, with Toshiba's Sleep-and-Charge technology, users charge external hardware, such as personal media players and mobile phones, when the notebook is in sleep mode.

Prices are yet to be announced.
