There has been an abundance of netbooks that have hit the market over the past couple of years. Toshiba has entered the fray with their Toshiba NB500-107 10.1 inch netbook. When compared to other netbooks, Toshiba has built in several technical highlights that separate it from the pack of available netbooks.

That difference is found in the included 3 applications: LifeSpace, Bulletin Board and ReelTime. LifeSpace is a productivity application suite. LifeSpace gives you a personalised approach to accessing your files, organising daily activities, projects and more. In simple terms it makes using Windows 7 a more pleasant experience.

Bulletin Board allows you to manage your projects and other daily activities. It provides a virtual pin board where you can put down your to do items for the day. At a single glance you can see everything going on for the day.

ReelTime provides a visual timeline of the files on your hard drive.

For people that have trouble configuring the Internet connection when trying to connect at the wireless point at a coffee shop or at a hotel, Toshiba has solved those problems. The Toshiba NB500-107 netbook includes Toshiba ConfigFree software. The ConfigFree software constantly scans for available wireless networks. It then presents a radar image on the screen. You simple draw a line from your netbook to the wireless hotspot that you want to connect to and ConfigFree handles the necessary configuration to connect.

The Toshiba NB500-107 netbook in black comes with 1 GB of memory. This is good enough to run most applications but it would run much better if you upgraded to 2 GB of memory.

Toshiba has included a built-in video camera in the netbook. This allows you to share information with others and to keep in contact with your friends and family.
