Toshiba has finally introduced an upgrade over NB100 by introducing NB200 netbook to the market. NB200 is not your everyday netbook. Sure. You do get a 10.1 inch screen, and N270 or N280 for your CPU. You also get 9 hours of battery life, which puts NB200 among the top energy-efficient netbooks on the market.

What keeps me excited about NB200 is the 3D-accelerometer that comes with the netbook. That allows your device to detect freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated HDD to secure against the loss of any personal data. So no longer do you have to worry about losing everything if you drop your notebook. I am not suggesting that you should test this feature out, but it’s a nice insurance policy to have.

Toshiba NB200 will cost you about $500 and will be released in May.
