Toshiba is to expand its line of netbook computers with the introduction of the mini NB250.
Scheduled to reach UK stores by the end of the month, the budget system hopes to improve netbook usability by incorporating what Toshiba calls a "full-size keyboard" and a large trackpad.
Featuring a 10.1in LED backlit display, the mini NB250 offers a basic 1,024x600 resolution and sports Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter operating system.
Under the hood, Toshiba has opted for a standard configuration consisting of a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor with integrated GMA 3150 graphics, 1GB of DDR3 memory and a 250GB hard disk.
Elsewhere, Wireless N and Ethernet connectivity feature as standard - as do three USB ports, a multi-card reader and integrated webcam - and Toshiba reckons the optional six-cell battery will provide up to 8.5 hours of usage from a single charge.
It might look a little basic, but it's suitably thin at 25.4mm up front and nice and light, too, weighing as little as 1.12kg with a three-call battery pack. No mention of pricing as yet, though.
