Toshiba Ready with AMD Fusion ''Brazos'' NB550D 10.1-inch Netbook

btarunr · Dec 29, 2010, 01:05 PM

Toshiba joined the small but growing group of PC manufacturers ready with a netbook powered by AMD's upcoming Fusion "Brazos" platform. Revealed by Toshiba Germany, the NB550D is a 10.1-inch netbook driven by AMD C-50 Fusion APU with two processor cores clocked at 1.00 GHz, carrying AMD Radeon HD 6250 DirectX 11 compliant graphics. It is backed by 1 GB of memory, 250 GB of storage, connectivity that includes WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and gigabit Ethernet. The unit itself weighs 1.32 kg, comes in three bezel color options: orange, green and brown. It embeds a VGA webcam, and is powered by a 6-cell battery. At full charge, the battery can run the netbook for up to 9.5 hours. It comes with Windows 7 Starter pre-installed. It should be released along with most other Fusion Brazos netbooks, in Q1-2011.

I like the Aspire One 522 more. Looks far better.

Now that's a screen bezel thick enough for three notebooks

This one has a 6-cell battery (which is why it's so long, hence the disproportionate bezel in the top), so it should do 8-10 hours.

I doubt the AO522 has the same big battery.

Top is fugly, but I kinda like what's going on with the keyboard and palm rest. Hopefully they'll wise up and give us a couple nice Brazos entries in the 12/13-inch category... 10-inches is still way too small a laptop for me.

Can't wait until this fills the market and I can grab myself an older netbook for el cheapo. Nice tech, but this thing is fugly.

The low(est) power version of Fusion platforms.

It's the name they came up for Ontario (9W) and Zacate (18W).
The C-50 is an Ontario, and should provide higher battery life than the current single-core, while offering a much higher performance (multimedia/gaming-wise).
