The NB200 features 1GB of memory, 160GB hard drive and Windows XP, and will mainly target the high-end market.
Toshiba also has an 8.9-inch netbook, the NB100, but the model is currently only selling in the US, the UK and Mexico.
Fujitsu on May 12 launched the M2010 manufactured by Quanta Computer and priced at NT$17,800.
The M2010 features an Atom N270 processor and 945GSE chipset, and weighs 1.15kg, noted Fujitsu.
