Toshiba launches NB520 and NB500 netbooks, one with Harman Kardon sound, one without

When's the last time you said "Crank up the netbook, I love this
song!" Yeah, probably never, but if you had a Toshiba mini NB520 you
might -- or at least that's what Toshiba would like to envision you
would do. It packs stereo Harman Kardon speakers that can crack the
foundation and wake the dead with an amazing two watts each,
apparently the smallest tweeters H/K has ever put on a laptop. That's
paired with an Atom N550 processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB HDD,
10 hours of battery life, and a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 LED-backlit
display. If that's too loud or you're too old, there's also the "no
frills" NB500, offering the same specs but minus the petite sound
system and stepping down to an Atom N455, though doing so at a lower
price. What price? That we don't know, but we'll find out when both
ship in the first quarter of 2011, which starts in a month. Yikes.
