Reg Hardware have published a review of the Toshiba NB250 netbook. 'It's one of the few netbooks to make use of Intel's Atom N455. Although very similar to the N450 - 1.66GHz clock speed, single-core, 45nm etc. - the N455 supports DDR 3 memory. With this in mind, Toshiba has included 1GB of DDR 3 memory, but there's no noticeable improvement in performance. In fact, it fell slightly behind N450-driven netbooks in our benchmarks. The Atom N455 also has a higher TDP: 6.5W compared to the N450's 5.5W. This adversely effects battery life: the NB250's 48Wh battery only managed 3h 42m, which is less than N450-based netbooks with a similar capacity battery.'
