Netbooks today come in a wide array of colors. Still, manufacturers tend to shy away from more adventurous shades such as purple, green and brown. Those of us who wish to decorate our netbooks with more unique colors would usually need to resolve to netbook skins that have to be purchased separately.

Toshiba’s late entry into the netbook market is marked by the release of the Toshiba Mini Netbook. It comes in 5 colors, namely black, white, pink blue and brown. Yes, Brown! You may think that it is a strange color for a netbook, but the Toshiba designers did a wonderful job in putting together a great-looking netbook.

The Toshiba Mini has an Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive. It has an impressive combination of some of the best specs and features in the market including an amazing 9 hours of battery life and the ability to charge USB enabled devices even when the machine is off.

The brown Toshiba mini has a matte external brown casing that is highlighted by a copper/gold hinge that gives it a really elegant look. It looks like something from the Louis Vuitton store. On the inside, the comfortable keyboard and the huge track pad is decorated in a shade of silver. The only two drawbacks in this model’s design is the thick frame around the screen and the protruding battery back on the back. Other than then, I personally think that the brown Toshiba looks slimmer and better than any other competing models in the market. It also helps to know that this model has been given the editor’s choice award by many prominent tech publications.
