The buttons appear to emerge out keyboard (raised) from the panel. More unique, different from the netbook majority, among the key does not touch each other, separated by an alias' alley. 'This reminds us in the framework of a keyboard on the other Japanese brand notebook.

Alas, Toshiba NB200ini fun when used. How beautiful physical keyboard is roomy, plus there are additional features of charge and sleep in one of the USB 2.0 port it. Resistance Battery 3-cell is slightly above the average mini-notebook (netbook) that we are testing. But this is also likely due to the use of processor Intel Atom N280, not N270. Battery Charging itself takes about 2 hours.

One thing is for us a bit pitied, NB200 is tolerable if the warm so long recommended to use the 'mat' that many are sold, such as folding table made of aluminum.
