The Toshiba NB550D is a 10.1 inch netbook. It has a 1GHz dual core AMD C-50 processor which comes bundled with the Radeon HD 6250 graphics. The AMD Ontario processors consume just 9W of power. They are in fact as power efficient as the Intel Atom processors. And because the Ontario processors come with the Radeon graphics, they will deliver great graphics performance. The Radeon HD 6250 supports DirectX 11 and can handle 1080p HD video playback.

The NB550D also has up to 2GB of DDR3 RAM, 250GB hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth and HDMI output port. The folks at PC Authority who got to spend some time the netbook says that it is very responsive. The netbook, however, takes a little longer than some Atom-based netbooks to launch some applications.
